Burnley Football Club are being set up for a long, arduous campaign in the top flight after they released a treacherous opening set of fixtures. The team will start their new campaign with an away game against Tottenham Hotspur on August 16th. They will then take on Sunderland in their first home match on August 23. The team has a long, difficult road in front of them. They’ll face off against a number of other marquee opponents in the first third of the season.
The first home fixtures will be important for Burnley as they try to get some early confidence and momentum. Following their away trip to Tottenham, the team will return home to Turf Moor. Their next home game will be against Sunderland, providing fans with an opportunity to come together and support their players. That third match, on August 23, promises to be the most pivotal in determining who establishes the strongest tone for the entire season.
A Grueling August and September
August is not getting any easier for Burnley with a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on August 30. In this historically powerful match up, their mettle will be directly tested early in the season. Just days later, on September 13, Burnley returns home to take on Liverpool, a fixture known for its intensity and competitiveness.
September also includes key matches against Nottingham Forest at home on September 20 and Manchester City away on September 27. These games will be crucial as Burnley aims to secure points against teams that consistently contend for top positions in the league standings.
October and November Showdowns
As October rolls on, things don’t get any easier for Burnley — far from it. The squad travel to Aston Villa first on September 30. They then return to home turf to host Leeds United on October 18. After this, they only have to go as far away as Wolverhampton for an away match on the 25th.
November brings no let up, though, with a huge home match against Arsenal on November 1. The squad will next face West Ham United away on November 8. They’ll be back at Turf Moor when they host Chelsea on November 22. The month ends with a tough away game against Brentford on November 29, only adding to the challenge of their upcoming schedule.
The Final Stretch of 2023
Burnley’s December home fixture against Crystal Palace will round out 2023. After that, they’ll be hitting the road for a tough matchup against Newcastle United away on December 13. Those last matches of 2023 will be critical. Their contributions will be critical for the team to maintain their standing atop the league and gain momentum as they roll into the new year.
