Will Burnley’s Home Record Survive Sunderland?
After experiencing a promising start in the top flight by defeating the current Premiership champions, Burnley’s form went crashing down with two heavy road defeats at the hands of Chelsea and Liverpool, 3-0 and 4-0 respectively. Now, they have to defend their perfect record at home against Sunderland, who come pumped and ready after thrashing Hull City 4-1 at home. Burnley, a sure early candidate for relegation, will be looking to prove themselves against the Black Cats as this test will give manager Owen Coyle a better idea on what his team has to offer for the rest of the season. So far, it has been a roller-coaster ride for the Clarets as they faced defeat on their dayview against Stoke. They bounced back and went on to defeat Manchester United and the always-highly-rated Everton side. However, all that excitement faded quickly with the painful Stamford Bridge and Anfield visits. The venue against Sunderland is highly important as a victory will provide Burney a much needed boost i
