Burnley v Notts County confirmed XIs and team news as Nicky Hayen goes strong Team news from Burnley’s first game of the season Nicky Hayen has named a strong side for Burnley’s first game of the new season against Notts County. The Clarets kick off their new campaign with a Carabao Cup first round tie against the League One newcomers.

Oliver Sonne starts ahead of Lucas Pires, who drops to the bench, although the Peruvian actually fills in at right back. Kyle Walker partners Joe Worrall in the centre of defence, with Worrall preferred to Hjalmar Ekdal, while Bashir Humphreys shifts over to left-back.
