Well Burnley go into the game at Villa Park this weekend still in the relegation zone, but at least it's not because we lost the must win game against Watford which was of course was called off.

However the cancellation will give Burnley more rest than their counterparts who played against Norwich in midweek and will of course give them time to get star man Maxwel Cornet back on the pitch.

It's a tough task against a decent Villa side under Steven Gerrard who seemed to have turned a corner since his arrival - but the Clarets can take confidence from their draws away at Chelsea and Leicester so far this season.

Burnley will look to out the shambolic performance against Newcastle United behind them this weekend when they take on West Ham United at Turf Moor.

However West Ham will be going into this game on the back of an impressive win against Chelsea at the London Stadium last weekend and had already cried through their Europa League group which meant they had the luxury of resting players on Thursday's European fixture.

Burnley on the other hand, well, the less said about Newcastle the better but the Clarets have played well in previous games and they need to rediscover that whilst simultaneously learning to finish teams off when they play like this.

It won't be easy against a very good West Ham side who currently sit fourth in the Premier League table.

The Clarets travel to St James' Park to take on Newcastle United this weekend in what is being labelled as a relegation 6-pointer by the media, and in truth it would be difficult to disagree.

Newcastle are of course now managed by former Burnley boss Eddie Howe, who is yet to pick up a win since his move to Tyneside.

Both sides need to get going this season, and both will see this as a winnable game, so that promises for plenty of action.

It's getting to the time of the season where Burnley NEED to start winning games and they NEED to start winning them fast.

The Clarets form has improves of late, but after only one win so far in the Premier League this season Sean Dyche's men are starting to look in a precarious position.

But it won'e be easy in this weeks clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers who have had a fantastic start to the season under new manager Bruno Lage.

The Clarets take on Tottenham Hotspur this weekend at Turf Moor in what will be new Spurs manager Antonio Conte's first Premier League away game in his new role.

Spurs fans won't forgive us for mentioning his first away game though - an embarrassing 2-1 defeat to Slovenian minnows NS Mura in the European Conference League.

Is this a good time for Burnley to play Conte's men or will Kane & the lads be coming to Turf Moor with a wounded animal mentality ready to strike?

Fingers crossed Burnley can maintain their decent upturn in form and grab some much needed points.

The international break is finally over but more importantly so is the TurfCast break!  

This weekend we welcome a different Crystal Palace side to Turf Moor than we have done in recent seasons after Premier League legend Patrick Viera took over at Selhurst Park.  

But despite Burnley's slow start to the season in terms of points it really feels like the Clarets have turned a corner recently and are unbeaten in three games which includes out first win and an impressive point on the road at Stamford Bridge.  

Can the Clarets continue this run and turn a 'decent' turn of form into an impressive string of results?

It's a big game at Turf Moor this weekend down at the bottom of the Premier League as winless Burnley welcome pointless Norwich City.

Burnley will be looking at this fixture as the perfect chance to kick start their campaign after another poor start in the league, but in fairness to the visitors they could have similar ambitions.

To get the lowdown on the opposition TurfCast's Joe Redmond is joined by Joe from Canary Cast - who it's fair to say isn't feeling optimistic ahead of this one.

Burnley travel to the King Power Stadium this weekend to face a Leicester City side that have had a slower start to their Premier League campaign than usual.

Burnley though have had a far worse start and are still searching for their first Premier League win of the season, and the King Power is not a stadium that the Clarets have had much joy at down the years.

Sean Dyche's men will however be buoyed by their midweek win against Rochdale in the EFL Cup, and hopefully that result and the performances of some of the lads will force Dyche into making some changes.

Big Bad Burnley take on Arsenal this weekend at Turf Moor in the Premier League still looking for their first win of the season. Arsenal though haven't exactly had a good start to the season, although they did win last time out against Norwich.

Arsenal are a club though that last season Burnley had a decent record against - with a famous first ever win against The Gunners at The Emirates Stadium and a draw at Turf Moor.

The under pressure Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has never won a game as a manager against Burnley's Sean Dyche - who will be buoyed this week by finally signing his new contract.

Fingers cross this can fire Dychey and the boys up and we see the Clarets run out winners on Saturday.

Burnley take on Everton this Monday at Goodison Park hoping to get their first win of the season in what is expected to be a tough game.

Everton have had a decent start to the season - after an opening day win against Southampton followed by a decent draw at Leeds and a good win down at Brighton.

Burnley will look back at last season though when they got an impressive win at Goodison Park largely due to a screamer from certified star boy Dwight McNeil.
