Burnley are going through a very difficult spell. Since their 3-2 win over Wolves at the end of October, the Clarets have failed to win any of their last 13 Premier League matches.
However, there have been slight signs of improvement, including a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford and a 1-1 draw at Anfield against Liverpool, as well as a convincing 5-1 FA Cup victory over Millwall.
