The Clarets wrapped up their pre-season with a comfortable win over Portuguese top-flight outfit Maritimo in their only Turf Moor outing before the real thing.
With domestic action under way this weekend and Covid restrictions curtailing the list of potential opposition for Sean Dyche’s men, the visitors were invited to swap Madeira for a cold and draughty Burnley.
The islanders were welcome guests, although they were given a tough afternoon by a Burnley side whose previous work-outs had been restricted to the training ground and a trip to Deepdale.
That said, the fit players have all gained valuable game-time over a varied fixture list in preparation for the season which starts back at Turf Moor next Thursday night with a Carabao Cup tie against Sheffield United.
