#4 Burnley making a strong case for a European finish
The Clarets endured a baptism of fire on their return to top-flight last season as they ensured a survival by the skin of their teeth, finishing 16th in the final standings. Another season of relegation battles beckoned but Burnley did not give in to that this time around.
After 15 games into the new season, they are seventh in the table and level on points with last season's runners-up Tottenham Hotspur with 25 points, dreaming of a European finish after decades in anonymity.
The 3-2 win at Stamford Bridge at the start of the season was a sign, and Burnley have moderately built on the opening day momentum. Despite losing Michael Keane and Andre Gray, the Lancashire outfit have produced the goods up front whilst also maintaining a stringent defense, conceding only 12 times - the joint second-lowest in the league after 15 rounds.
Manager Sean Dyche has improved his side from stem to stern, and currently ride a wave of confidence as Burnley harbor serious Europa League aspirations.
