The Clarets will welcome the Premier League title winners – be it Manchester City or Liverpool – to Turf Moor again next season after their top-flight status was secured over the weekend.
And while Burnley’s remarkable record of having beaten the defending champions in each of their four previous Premier League campaigns came to an end, Sean Dyche’s men can rightly celebrate their achievement of making sure they will again rub shoulders with the elite again next term.
That will allow Dyche to add significantly to the 150 games as a Premier League manager he reached with the visit of City, whose 63rd-minute winner from Sergio Aguero took them back to the top of the table.
