#2 Burnley lose last chance at silverware

Sean Dyche and Burnley will have to go back to the drawing board

Last night's defeat to Manchester City realistically ended Burnley's last chance at silverware, with the Premier League seemingly miles out of reach. With 28 points separating them from Pep Guardiola's men, who sit pretty atop their perch, the FA Cup was arguably Sean Dyche's only potential shot at silverware this season, largely due to the unpredictability of a cup competition.

The Clarets will now have to return to Turf Moor and chart a new course of action - one with the agenda of propelling them as high up the Premier League table as possible.

While the Premier League trophy might be beyond their realms, a positive finish in the league might just give Burnley a ticket to Europe next season - something that will greatly benefit the club.

With just 7 points separating them from 5th place, Burnley still have plenty to play for.
