5 things to watch out for in the Premier League this weekend

#2 Burnley’s best ever start in the first division

The mastermind behind Clarets' good fortunes this season

Sean Dyche is arguably one of the most sought-after manager in the league at the moment after Burnley’s unexpected rise to the top half of the table this season. The Clarets are currently 7th in the table, level on points with Arsenal and Liverpool, and only three points away from the last Champions League qualification spot occupied by defending champions Chelsea.

Burnley face strugglers Swansea City while in fine form after being unbeaten on the road despite facing the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool already this season.

Only both of the Manchester clubs and Tottenham have conceded fewer goals than them in the league, even though they failed to replace their best performer from last season, Michael Keane, who was roped in by Everton in the summer.

Paul Clement and Swansea, on the other hand, have plenty of problems of their own after failing to fill the void left by star players Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente who joined Everton and Spurs respectively.

Swansea have won only one of their last six league games, a run of results that has seen them score just three goals - a poor average of 0.5 goals per game.

However, they have won all of their last four premier league meetings with the Clarets and will be looking at the club’s top scorer Tammy Abraham, who has been involved in 71.4% of Swansea’s seven Premier League goals this season (4 goals, 1 assists) , which happens to be the highest ratio in the division, to deliver the goods.

Dyche is one of the longest-serving managers in the league and a win could lift Burnley to a potential fifth place in the league given that other fixtures go their way.
