I mean that we know how we want to play but now we have to prove it. Mauricio Pochettino’s side took a point from their clash with Everton and will be confident of seeing off an Eagles side that they took six points from last season. Burnley who got relegated in the second last season despite delivering some exciting football, are back in top tier of English football once again becoming Championship champions under Sean Dyche.

“The market is that insane we might have to do more than (the Defour fee)”, he said at a press conference on Thursday.
The Liverpool front four looked good last week once they got into the flow of the game and Klopp will want to keep that as intact as possible.
Striker Sadio Mane, who scored on his Premier League debut for the Reds last week, is a doubt after suffering a muscle injury in training.
Jurgen Klopp is optimistic that Sadio Mane’s injury is “not too serious”, but admitted he is unsure whether he will feature this weekend. It’s how it is with all other positions – we would’ve found the ideal fit with all the things around, it’s not about money, only about playing style, defending skills, offensive skills and technical skills. “He just can not play right back”. No European football, plenty of attacking options & a dodgy defence?
“The Premier League is a big draw to a lot of players and you may only get one chance to be in it”. “But for us, they are actually big for a club like Burnley”, said Dyche when asked about the club’s record signing.
“He [Defour] knows it will be a challenge for us”.
You would not want to have played two games at home and lost them both at this stage of the season but, unfortunately for Burnley, I can see it happening.
“We didn’t think before the game that it was a very offensive line-up”.
Burnley took an early 1-0 lead over Liverpool on Saturday, with Sam Vokes scoring the opening goal of the game for the hosts. Every year Liverpool enter their campaign with the tag dark horse, a team that might make the top four and contend for the Premier League title if everything goes right.
The Belgium global, who arrived at Turf Moor from RSC Anderlecht earlier in the week in a deal believed to be in the region of £7.5, is expected to make his bow tomorrow against Liverpool following the departure of David Jones. The match starts at 00:00 on 21 August 2016. Either result would suit Klopp’s men though a clean sheet would be bordering on the miraculous given how frequently the Reds still ship goals.
“I suppose that’s what comes with the Premier League and the money”.

That the Senegal worldwide will be denied the chance to add to that shimmering impression at Turf Moor due to a shoulder injury sustained in training on Wednesday presents a window of opportunity.
