Our old friend Chris Long is tapped as Burnley's pick. For us it's a pretty obvious one, Jonjoe Kenny.

Burnley: Chris Long
Long joined Burnley from Everton’s academy in 2015 and has made 10 appearances in the Championship but has yet to make his Premier League debut because of spending last season on loan at Fleetwood then Bolton. A 22-year-old striker, Long has scored goals wherever he has played, including Brentford, Milton Keynes Dons and several England youth teams, though has rarely been awarded enough games to make a real impact. That is unlikely to change massively this season, though he is in Ireland with the Burnley first-team training camp, has been given a squad number rather than directions to a new club and must he hopeful of at least breaking his Premier League duck.

Everton: Jonjoe Kenny
The current absence of a squad number plus the arrival of Cuco Martina on a free transfer do not bode well for the 20-year-old at Everton but there is no question he has the ability and opportunity to push himself into Ronald Koeman’s plans this season. The right-back was an influential and impressive figure throughout England’s triumphant Under-20 World Cup campaign and, with Séamus Coleman recovering from a double leg fracture, the academy graduate merits the chance to rival Mason Holgate and Martina for a regular role.
