Players Out: Jon Walters, Stephen Ward, Anders Lindegaard, Peter Crouch, Mark Howarth, Tom Heaton.


Burnley are an odd team to see in the Premier League. They're a small-town outfit but still have tremendous support and have cemented their place in the division in these past few seasons, proving time and time again that they can't be underestimated. Much of this is credited to Sean Dyche's impact and the tactics he's put into place. Getting them to work with an average side has been Dyche's biggest accomplishment.

The acquisition of Jay Rodriguez from West Brom is undoubtedly a shrewd signing at £5m. He netted 22 times last season in the Championship, so will definitely add some firepower to the front line. Danny Drinkwater in on-loan from Chelsea will bolster the midfield, while Erik Pieters from Stoke will help out in the full-back positions.

Burnley finished 15th last season, but I believe that they're going to surprise a lot of people with how well they perform this time round.
