Huddersfield Town v Burnley: Team news and details on how to watch pre-season friendly
Burnley step up their pre-season preparations today with a friendly double header.
Scott Parker will split his squad to face both Huddersfield Town and Shrewsbury Town away this afternoon, with both games kicking off at 3pm.
The games will be the first played in front of supporters, after the Clarets beat Fleetwood Town 1-0 behind closed doors before playing out a 1-1 draw with Premier League rivals Wolves at the end of their week-long training camp in Portugal.
Burnley fans will get to see the club’s new signings in action for the first time, although in Jacob Bruun Larsen’s case he’s returning to familiar territory having already represented the Clarets during the 2023/24 season.
But Max Weiss, Axel Tuanzebe, Kyle Walker, Quilindschy Hartman and Loum Tchouana are all newcomers to East Lancashire.
Another thing to look out for is how the Clarets line up, with some suggesting Scott Parker could move to a back three for the upcoming campaign.
One man who won’t be available to feature is Zeki Amdouni, who is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines through injury. James Trafford is also unlikely to partake in either game given the ongoing speculation surrounding his future and his recent absence from the Portugal training camp.
While both games are available to the public, only the Huddersfield fixture will be live streamed – with the Clarets confirming a pass will be available for the price of £5. The live match stream will begin at 2.45pm and can be purchased via the club’s official website.
Burnley Express reporter Matt Scrafton will also be at the John Smith’s Stadium to provide live coverage from the friendly.
The Shrewsbury game will not be streamed on Clarets+.
This weekend marks three weeks until the Premier League campaign gets underway, which for Burnley will involve a tricky opening day trip to Tottenham.
Before that though they face Stoke City away from home before hosting Lazio in their one and only Turf Moor friendly of the summer.
