Burnley gearing up for first public friendlies with pre-season double header
This weekend, Burnley will play two teams simultaneously in their first public friendlies of the summer.
Scott Parker will divide his team to play away games against Shrewsbury Town and Huddersfield Town on Saturday. Both games will start at 3 p.m.
After the Clarets finished their week-long training camp in Portugal with a 1-0 victory against Fleetwood Town behind closed doors and a 1-1 draw with Premier League rivals Wolves, the games will be the first to be played in front of fans.
Burnley supporters will witness the debut of the team’s new additions for the first time, but Jacob Bruun Larsen is returning to his home field after playing for the Clarets in 2023–2024.
The Clarets’ lineup is another thing to watch; some have suggested that Scott Parker would go to a back three for the forthcoming season.
Three weeks remain until the start of the Premier League season, which for Burnley will include a challenging first-day trip to Tottenham. That starts this weekend.
Before that though they face Stoke City away from home before hosting Lazio in their one and only Turf Moor friendly of the summer.
