After tonight’s defeat, Burnley sit in 14th spot, 3 points clear of the relegation zone. After their victory against Liverpool, it looked like the Clarets would have no trouble staying up this season, but 3 defeats in 4 games since, have dampened the spirits.
With West Ham’s form bound to improve, coupled with the fact that Stoke finally achieved a positive result against Manchester United, things don't look all that bright for the Clarets.
Burnley have difficult fixtures coming up against Southampton, Everton and Manchester United, and they must find a way of coming away with at least 3 points in these games or they could find themselves in a relegation dogfight, which Sean Dyche would definitely not want.
