FORMER Burnley boss Eddie Howe admits he is not relishing the prospect of his return to Turf Moor on Saturday.

Howe brings his Bournemouth side to East Lancashire in five days’ time, a year after quitting as Clarets manager.

“It’s a game we look forward to but I wouldn’t say I ‘m particularly looking forward to,” he said.

“It’s a difficult one from my perspective because I’m going to know a lot of people and it’s going to be difficult.

“But we’re going to go there and try to win.”
