#3 Sean Dyche's Clarets to play European football next season

Burnley v West Ham United - Premier League
Sean Dyche has lead Burnley to the Europa League

In their first season after being promoted to the Premier League in 2016, Burnley managed to finish 16th on the table just six points above the drop zone.

Keeping that in mind, no one would have even thought that Burnley will be qualifying for European football this season.

The Clarets' goalscoring tally of 36 is the least by any team in the top 10, but it was their stern defence that only conceded 39 goals (Arsenal conceded 51, Chelsea and Liverpool conceded 38 and Tottenham conceded 36) that was the reason for this tremendous achievement of theirs.

A nice transfer kitty and it will be exciting to see how Sean Dyche and co. fare in Europe next season.
