Stat strengthens Burnley’s threat on home turf

Burnley are proving to everyone that they can definitely cut it this time in the Premier League.The Clarets currently sit 12th in the table, 10 points above the bottom three, where they were initially tipped to be lingering around at the start of the campaign.Sean Dyche’s side earned promotion back to the top flight by winning the Championship last season, one year after dropping out of the elite division.Turf Moor has become a danger ground for visiting teams considering that Burnley have won nine, drawn two and lost just three since the domestic season began.Not only that, OptaJoe has revealed an interesting statistic that compares the club’s current form to that of previous promoted sides.[ad_pod id=’now-tv’ align=’centre’]

Their latest scalp on home soil was against Chelsea on Sunday when they earned a 1-1 draw.

Dyche’s men went behind after seven minutes, but they held off a potential onslaught and Robbie Brady, who signed for the club from Norwich City in January, was able to find a first-half equaliser.

It has been a completely different story on the road, though, given that Burnley have not won a single away game in the league this season.

They have lost 10 and drawn one, but their home form is pushing them towards a potential top-10 finish.
