Jones Knows' prediction

Burnley have started the season slowly, but their performance metrics are still similar to last season where they were a solid mid-table team. Defensively, there has been encouragement for Sean Dyche's men - only three teams have faced lower expected goals in the Premier League, while they are top for duels won and aerial duels won.

The problem for them this Monday will be the current form of Harry Kane, who performed like the best striker in world football against West Ham. Kane has seven goals in eight Premier League appearances against Burnley - it's hard to see Dyche's men stopping him.
