Burnley’s 2026/27 campaign gets underway with a cup tie against Notts County this weekend.
Martin Paterson’s Magpies are the visitors to Turf Moor as Nicky Hayen’s first competitive game comes in the first round of the Carabao Cup.
The Clarets will be hoping to avoid another cup upset at the hands of League One opposition, having been knocked out of both cups by third tier outfits last season.
Both sides have some injury concerns to contend with heading into Saturday’s encounter, so here's an early look at the team news for both outfits:
