Burnley are below Newcastle in the table after three consecutive defeats and although allowances perhaps ought to be made for having to play Manchester City and Tottenham in that sequence, the aggregate score of 11-1 must irk a side who used to pride themselves on a miserly defence, as must the haunting memory of Son Heung-min’s wonder goal last weekend. Sean Dyche will be aiming to put things right against Newcastle, while aware Steve Bruce’s impressive turnaround on Tyneside has produced only one defeat in the past seven games. Paul Wilson
