Burnley v Swansea City - Premier League
James Tarkowski

The 2017/18 Premier League season was a breakout season for James Tarkowski as he became a regular member in the Burnley squad which secured a spot in Europe. He was the only defender who was not a player of the 'Big 6' but still secured 10+ clean sheets.

As Sean Dyche barely tinkers with his squad, Tarkowski can be earmarked for 34+ starts and with a stingy defence like that of Burnley's another season of 10+ clean sheets can be a considered a reality.

Burnley have a relatively easy start to their 2017-18 campaign as they play Southampton, Watford, Fulham, Wolves, Cardiff & Huddersfield in 6 of their first 8 fixtures, all of whom register a favourable score of 2 on the Fixture Difficulty Rating.
