Clarets to host Birmingham at Training Centre

Both the Clarets U18s and U21s now have further dates added into their respective calendars for the 2022/23 campaign with cup draws now made, and fixtures confirmed.

Alongside competing in the U18 Professional Development League this season, Tony Philliskirk’s youth team will also enter the Professional Development League Cup.

The competition is in just its second season with Ipswich Town the inaugural winners, and Burnley this term have been handed an all North West affair in the group stages.

With three teams in each group playing each other in a round-robin format to try and qualify for the knockout stages, the young Clarets will take on Wigan Athletic, Blackpool and Preston North End.

The Latics are first up at home, while Philliskirk’s side will also travel to take on the Tangerines and North End.

Full details of those fixtures can be found below:

SAT SEP 3 - Wigan Athletic (H – 11:00), Burnley Training Centre

SAT OCT 8 – Blackpool (A – 10:30), Recycling Lives Ground (Longridge Town FC)

SAT NOV 5 – Preston North End (A – 10:30), Springfields Training Ground

Elsewhere, the U21s now know their group for the Premier League Cup, which was first launched in the 2013/14 campaign.

The Clarets will compete in that competition alongside the Professional Development League.

Exiting at the group stage of the Premier League Cup last term, they will look to improve on that this time around going up against Arsenal, Stoke City & Swansea City.

Burnley will face those three teams home and away, with the bulk of the group stage fixtures scheduled during the winter World Cup break at senior level.

Full details of those fixtures can be found below:

FRI SEP 23 – Arsenal (H – 19:00), Lancashire FA County Ground
