The Clarets’ scheduled reserve team fixture against Sunderland tonight has been postponed because of a frozen pitch at Accrington Stanley.

The weather has played havoc with Burnley’s Barclays Premier League Reserve North programme with the second string having been without a game since November 23 And next Tuesday night’s home fixture against Everton has already been postponed because of Accrington’s FA Cup replay and Burnley’s scheduled FA Youth Cup tie against Manchester United.

No new dates for either game have yet been finalised.
