BURNLEY will travel to Stoke City for their first ever match in the Premier League on August 15.

The Clarets, who beat Sheffield United to gain promotion through the play-offs last month, have not played in the top flight since 1976 and will face a trip to the Britannia Stadium - where Stoke enjoyed good results during 2008/09.

Burnley's start gets no easier as they host Manchester United on Tuesday, August 18, before matches against Everton, Chelsea and Liverpool.

The Clarets face Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Saturday, October 17 before hosting their derby rivals on Saturday, March 27.

Tottenham, who cruelly denied Burnley a place in the Carling Cup final during 2008/09, return to Turf Moor on the final day of the season on Sunday, May 9.

All the fixtures will be available in tomorrow's Lancashire Telegraph but are still subject to changes for television.
