Ben Wilkinson and our Elite Development Squad welcome the Clarets to the Joie Stadium on Friday 9 January, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 (UK).
It’s our first outing of 2026, with our Under-21s keen extend our unbeaten run to six in all competitions.
It will be our first encounter with Burnley in the new PL2 format following their addition to the competition in the summer.
Our opponents have had a difficult start to 2025/26, with two wins and seven defeats, leaving them in 26th in a 29-team table.
City, on the other hand, will be looking to build on our momentum from the latter end of 2025 which sees us sit 13th with 13 points.
Can our EDS put on a positive result and climb the table?
