Burnley are coming off two wins and are the sort of physical side up front that will cause our defence problems
because he's an NZer we see a lot of Chris Wood down here and I'm worried by the thought of any ball being whipped into our 6 yard box - Leno is a decent keeper but not dominating when it comes to the close in stuff, Sokratis can't get more than five and a half feet off the ground when he challenges for headers, and Luiz is just as likely to put it in his own net or drag a player down as make a goal line clearance
if we lose we drop down to 13th, and the wildly optimistic talk of top 4 really needs to be replaced by the more likely proposition of staving off relegation
I'm not saying a relegation battle is likely, just that it's more likely than top 4, especially if we lose
