Monday night’s win at Fulham made it mission accomplished for Burnley as they secured their Premier League status for a sixth successive season.

 And the effort involved in getting over the line after such a testing season took its toll as Leeds plundered the points to extend the Clarets’ winless home run to nine games.

 That’s a record run in the top-flight for Burnley with the latest defeat confirmed by three second-half goals from the Yorkshiremen, who enjoyed their first visit to Turf Moor for a top tier fixture since 1975.

 But in the bigger picture Sean Dyche’s men can still look back on a job well done over the course of a campaign that started with a seven-match winless run.

 And they have one chance left to secure just a second home league win of 2021 - and sign off at Turf Moor on a high - when they face deposed champions Liverpool with some fans back in the ground on Wednesday night.

 The absence of Nick Pope with a knee injury that isn’t expected to keep him out for longer than one game brought about the only change to the side that had started at Fulham.

 That meant another appearance in goal for Bailey-Peacock Farrell as one of three Burnley players facing their former club.

 And two of them – Peacock-Farrell and Charlie Taylor – were instrumental in keeping the contest level until just before the break.
