Following a quiet last week with only the U18s playing, all four teams return to action this week following the November international break with the U21s kickstarting the busy week on Monday afternoon.

MONDAY

Birmingham City v Burnley | U21 Professional Development League | 2pm

The U21s kick off the week with a trip to 2nd placed Birmingham City, who have won their last four matches in all competitions.

Burnley currently sit 6th in the league table and victory at City’s Wast Hills Training Ground on Monday could lift the Clarets up to 4th.

Supporters can find full coverage of the game on X @ClaretsAcademy followed by a match report for Clarets fans to view on burnleyfootballclub.com.

SATURDAY

Burnley v West Ham United | Premier League | 3pm

Burnley v Birmingham City | U18 Professional Development League | 11am

Vincent Kompany’s side return to league action at Turf Moor following the international break as the Clarets host the Hammers.

Victory for Burnley could see the home side climb out of the bottom three and into 17th, depending on surrounding results, whilst David Moyes’ side sit ninth but have lost their last three on the road in the Premier League.

Full coverage of the game will be available across the Club’s official social channels, with full commentary from Phil Bird on Clarets+ and a match report, match reaction and highlights after the 90 minutes at Turf Moor.

Four hours before the men’s team take on United, the Clarets’ U18s side entertain Birmingham City at the Burnley Training Centre.

The young Clarets extended their impressive unbeaten run to five matches on Saturday following their 1-1 draw with Sheffield United.

Before the weekend’s draw with the Blades, Tony Philliskirk’s side had won two and drawn two in their previous four, with the last defeat coming in October to this Saturday’s opponents, Birmingham.

Full coverage will be available for the U18s fixture on X @ClaretsAcademy and a match report will be available post-match.

SUNDAY

Burnley Women v Alnwick Town Ladies | Women’s FA CUP | 1pm

The weekend comes to a close with Rebecca Sawiuk’s side playing host to Alnwick Town in the FA Cup second round.

Burnley, who still sit top of the league table, are enjoying a fine run of form with an unbeaten run in all competitions stretching all the way back to August.

The Claret Women booked their place in the second round of the competition with a 2-1 victory over Huddersfield Town earlier this week.

Meanwhile, Sunday’s opposition Alnwick also secured their place in the second round with a 2-1 win, over Gateshead Ladies.
