Burnley are winless in their last 7 EPL meetings with us (D2 L5), since winning 4-2 on the final day of the 20089-10 campaign. Only Manu (9) are on a longer current unbeaten run in the EPL tan Burnley (7). The Clarets last had a longer unbeaten run in the top-flight between May-September 1966 (9 games).
Since beating Liverpool in August 2016, Burnley have only taken 2 points from their last 42 available at home against “big six” opponents in the EPL (W0 D2 L12). They have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those games, conceding 27 goals and netting 6 in return.
Burnley’s Ashley Barnes has scored in each of his last 3 EPL appearances, including scoring from the penalty spot in his last 2. Only 5 players have ever scored a penalty in three consecutive EPL games before, with Sergio Aguero in November 2017 the most recent.
We have kept a clean sheet on each of our last 3 visits to Burnley in the top-flight, winning twice and drawing once.
We have won 11 EPL away games this season, already our most in a single campaign in the competition. We last won more on the road in a single league season in 1984-85 (12).
Only Liverpool (1) have failed to score in fewer EPL games than us this season, with our only failings coming in home games against the two Manchester sides (0-1) vs Man City in October, (0-1 vs Manu in January).
We have scored a league high 12 EPL goals outside the area this season, while Burnley have conceded the most in this fashion so far (12).
Son Heung-min has scored 8 goals in his last 8 EPL appearances for us, netting in each of his last 3 in row. He last scored 4 consecutive top flight appearances in April 2017.
