Following on from last season’s 100-point automatic promotion, the Clarets mark their return to the big time with a tricky game first up.
With so many players to choose from, this is arguably the most difficult line-up to predict given we don’t know exactly what Scott Parker has in mind.
Will it be a back three or a back four, for example? How many debutants will there be? And which players will be ruled fit enough to feature?
Here’s how we think the Clarets might line up in North London:

10. RW - Hannibal
It was quite telling that Hannibal started on the right wing against Lazio when he had the likes of Edwards, Tchouana, Koleosho and Bruun Larsen on the bench. Scott Parker is a big fan of his energy and intensity (Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images) Photo: Alex Livesey
11. LW - Jaidon Anthony

12. ST - Lyle Foster
