Andre Gray could be the Jamie Vardy of this season if he successfully translates his pre-season form into the Premier League. Gray is Burnley’s club record transfer and he justified his status last season by claiming the Championship Player of the Year award finishing as the top goal scorer. But if you are arguing about his chances at the top-level, then you should also consider his blistering pre-season form where he scored 9 goals.

Gray’s lethal weapon is his pace while the ability to outclass defenders with the ball on his foot and finish his move coolly has got our attention. He will take penalties and that is an extra bonus for a £6.5m forward assured of playing time.

First six fixtures: Swansea (H), Liverpool (H), Chelsea (A), Hull (H), Leicester (A), Watford (H)
