Preview
Burnley head into the new season with hopes and aspirations as they look to remove blemishes of relegation and start afresh.
The hosts were relegated from the EPL last season after finishing in 18th place and will look to get back to the summit once again through the Championship route.
Their new season sees them face 4 teams in a pre-season including Rochdale as they aim for solid practice for the new challenge.
Vincent Kompany has been appointed the club’s manager with a first aim to get them back into a league where he is considered royalty.
The ex-Manchester City skipper will be aiming for nothing less than a positive start at his new club.
On the other hand, Rochdale like Burnley did not have the best of seasons In League 2 as they finished in 18th place with 53 points from 46 matches.
A 2-0 win on the final day did not help their cause to the extent it should have but gave them enough motivation to start the 2022-23 season on a high.
