Take a quick glance at the top of the Premier League table, and all seems roughly as you'd expect: Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are filling six of the top seven positions.
There's one exception, however. Burnley -- expected to finish somewhere in the bottom half -- find themselves in sixth position, ahead of Liverpool on goal difference.
This represents a truly remarkable start to the campaign for Sean Dyche's side, particularly considering the nature of their fixtures. Their seven matches have featured four away trips to Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Everton. Somehow, Burnley have recorded two victories and two draws from those matches, and eight away points is already more than they collected on their travels throughout 2016-17.
