Burnley FC transfer news: West Ham express interest in Clarets full-back, Vincent Kompany eyes Rangers forward

Burnley discovered their Carabao Cup second round opponents as the draw was complete last night.

The Clarets will face a trip to Shrewsbury Town later this month - not long after facing them in pre-season where they came out 3-1 winners, thanks to goals from Samuel Bastien, Bobby Thomas and Ne-Jai Tucker.

The Championship club haven’t faced Shrewsbury since a defeat in Division 2 way back in April 1997 and last faced them in the League Cup in a thrilling 5-0 victory 56 years ago.

The match is scheduled to take place the week commending Monday 22nd August.
