Burnley are heading back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

The Clarets have conceded 15 goals, never twice in a match, in 44 games.

Vincent Kompany's side won 101 points and 87 goals to win the title two years ago .

12 first -team players departed in total in August forcing Scott Parker to reset his squad.

As the standards increase, the margins will become finer for Burnley ; Championship defenders and strikers will be replaced by the world’s best, more goals will be conceded and fewer chances created. What Burnley will take with them is the knowledge that they, unlike Kompany ’s team, had to battle for every point. Parker ’s efforts may not get him a job at Bayern but if he can keep his squad together and add some firepower, he could succeed where his predecessor failed..
