Sean Dyche’s high-flying Burnley welcome an indifferent Swansea side to Turf Moor looking to continue their sparkling start to the season. The Clarets impressive 1-0 win at Southampton last time out epitomised all that has been good about Burnley this term – astute defending coupled with the ability to be clinical in front of goal has left them in 7th place in the Premier League table. Swansea are languishing in 19th place and won’t be relishing the trip to Lancashire one bit.

Burnley
Swansea CityBurnley
The Clarets have been the surprise package in the Premier League this season – beating Chelsea, Southampton and Everton already this term. Their success away from home has grabbed the headlines and Sean Dyche has been attracting interest from the likes of Everton in recent weeks. Chris Wood has impressed since his summer arrival from Leeds and the New Zealander has bagged 4 goals for his new club already.
Swansea City
Paul Clement deservedly picked up many plaudits for navigating Swansea’s path to safety last season but the Swans are embroiled in a relegation battle once again this term. Without a win in over a month, the Swans are two points adrift of Premier League safety and have struggled for goals this term – only managing 7 in 11 matches. Fresh from his England debut, Tammy Abraham has been in impressive form since his summer loan from Chelsea and he will be looking to add to his tally of 5 goals this season.
Head to Head
These two sides have faced off 46 times in nearly 90 years – with Burnley just edging the head to head 17:16 with an additional 13 draws taking place between the two sides. Both sides have become part of the Premier League furniture in recent seasons and have faced off with Swansea doing the double over the Clarets last term, winning 1-0 at Turf Moor and 3-2 at the Liberty Stadium.
