Burnley would be wise to emulate the Southampton model

Burnley have started the new Premier League season relatively well -- with seven points from seven games they sit a few places above the relegation zone -- and the international break offered a timely chance to consider what the club could achieve.

This is their third time in the Premier League in the last decade, but on both previous visits they have been relegated and it is hard to argue they did not deserve it on either occasion.

Sean Dyche's side look better equipped than ever before to survive in the top-flight, however, with Sunday's trip to Southampton offering a tempting glimpse at what Burnley could aspire to be.
