Burnley FC will face Stoke - Sky Bet Championship - Source: Getty
Burnley will welcome Stoke City to Turf Moor on New Year's Day in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side are enjoying a brilliant run of form and will be looking to get off to a flyer in the new year as they sit third in the table with 48 points from 24 matches.
They played out a goalless draw away at Middlesbrough last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game, having created the better chances but failing to convert.
Stoke City, meanwhile, have failed to perform in the league this season, prompting the dismissal of head coach Narcis Pelach after just three months at the club. Ryan Shawcross has been appointed as the interim boss and guided the Potters to a winning finish to the year in his first game in charge as they beat Sunderland 1-0 on Sunday, with Tom Cannon scoring a brilliant winner in additional time.
