After last week’s double header, the Clarets head to the bet365 Stadium for their final away friendly before the big kick-off at Tottenham.
Prior to that, Parker’s side host Serie A side Lazio in their one and only Turf Moor friendly.
Parker has named close to what looks like his strongest starting XI at Stoke today, although there’s no starting striker.
Max Weiss gets the nod in goal, while the back four is the same as the one that lined up at Huddersfield Town last week.
Josh Cullen partners Josh Laurent and Hannibal in midfield, while Marcus Edwards, Jaidon Anthony and Jacob Bruun Larsen make up a front three.
The likes of Connor Roberts, Bashir Humphreys and Zian Flemming are all understood to be carrying knocks.
