England U16s will round-off their Sky Sports Victory Shield campaign in late November when they play host to Scotland at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium.

After travelling to face Wales in Port Talbot later this month, Kenny Swain’s Young Lions will play their final match of this year's Shield against the Auld Enemy and will stay and train at the nearby St. George’s Park.

"We had a fantastic start to the Victory Shield this year, beating Northern Ireland 5-0 in Tyrone last week and we hope to continue this against Wales and Scotland.

"Scotland is always a competitive fixture when we play them, and we will look to the people of Burton to come out and support the boys on the night.

"We recently played two games in the U17s International Tournament at the Pirelli Stadium in August and both games produced good crowds."

Speaking about the announcement of the fixture, Burton Albion Chairman Ben Robinson said: “We are delighted to be hosting yet another prestigious international football event here at the Pirelli Stadium.

"These high profile matches provide another boost to our local community and provide a great opportunity for fans and their families across the local area to see some great football and promising U16s talent.”

England will be looking to retain the prestigious trophy for the twelfth time in a row this season, with the likes of Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott and Jack Butland  amongst others having represented the Three Lions in the tournament over the years.
