If a performance summed up Burnley it was the performance against Wolves. Defensively solid. Compact. Clinical. That's what we like to see. 

That gives Burnley an impressive return of seven points from Arsenal away, Villa away, and Wolves at home. The Clarets are finding their feet at the right time ahead of a busy Christmas period.

Next up a Pennine derby against Leeds which promises to be a Christmas cracker.

Burnley are back.

We've been crying out for a performance like that all season. We've put in a couple of shockers this season but that was much like the Burnley we all know and love. Pope pulling off worldies, Tarky & Mee solid as a rock and the midfield massive bossing the game in the middle of the park against players earning five times more than them. It's about time we got a win against those lot.

The performances are slightly getting better, even if the points aren't flowing in as regularly as we would like, but there's definitely been something to build on over the last few weeks, Man City aside.

That continued against a very good Everton side this week as the Clarets got off to a good start and went a goal up, only to be pegged back late in the first half when in truth we should have e already been two up.

However a point against Everton isn't to be sniffed at, but it's Arsenal up next for the Clarets and our record at the Emirates is not the best to put it lightly. But there's surely no better time time to play the Gunners...?

The 5-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium is becoming a bit of a tradition. What is about the Etihad that Burnley players can't handle? Hopefully one day we will get one over on them on their own patch but I wouldn't hold your breath.

But the Clarets must forget about that one as another Big game approaches as Sean Dyche's men take on Everton at Turf Moor this weekend. Thankfully it's another Saturday kick off.

The Toffee's, despite all their quality in the squad, are out of form. They went top of the table earlier in the season but 4 defeats in 5 games has proven that they're beatable. Any other Burnley side and you're fancying your chances - but this season is different.

It's finally happened, we have won a Premier League game!

It feels epic to finally get that monkey off out back and despite the tough run looming for Burnley, it definitely feels like the mentality has shifted to onwards and upwards for the fans now rather than looking over our shoulder, but lets see how we all feel after the next few fixtures.

But back to the Palace game and brilliant performances from Jay Rod (we told you so, Sean), Ben Mee, Nick Pope and a class finish from Wood has dragged us out of the relegation zone. That's the Burnley we know, that's the Burnley we love.

It kind of feels like we're calling all the Burnley games big games, which can sound a little silly so early in the season, but I'm sure nobody would disagree that this one is definitely a must-win with the fixtures are coming up.

But that's what a poor start like Burnley's does.

It's the typical kind of game where the fans will say 'well if you want to stay up you've got to be beating teams like Palace at home', but Palace go into this game full of confidence and 8th in the Premier League so it's going to be a tough one.

As usual, Joe Redmond is joined by Simon Townley to take a look at all things Burnley FC, ahead of the Palace game.

Burnley are still looking for their first win of the season after the result against Brighton, but at least we can take some positives out of the solid defensive performance the Clarets put in to shut out the Seagulls.

Offensively though there's a lot to be desired for Sean Dyche's men - with Wood and Barnes both having a poor start to the season, and Burnley once again creating absolutely nothing going forward - a lot of fans have begun asking for the front two to be changed.

We got a bit of criticism this week for asking if this game was a must win so early in the season, but when you think that Brighton could be seven points ahead of us by the end of play and teams like Fulham could be six points ahead of us by the end of the Matchweek, then we REALLY need to be picking up results soon.

The good news for Burnley is that Ben Mee is back from injury, and is ready for selection according to Sean Dyche. Fingers crossed the captain coming back makes all the difference.

Whether it's a must win, or must not lose, either way - it's massive.

Just when you think things have gone a little quiet on the takeover front, some bombshell news breaks out of nowhere.

We had never even heard of any interest from an Egyptian-based company when it came to buying Burnley Football Club, but now it seems these are the front-runner and contracts have already been exchanged, according to reports.

However, with Chris Farnell the lawyer representing the firm, eyebrows have to be raised at this new deal.

Have we ever had to endure a six pointer so early in the season? That's what the West Brom game felt like despite it being only the fourth game of the season.

The performance was there but the result wasn't. But like Dyche said in his post-match interviews it felt like something had come back to our performance. We actually created chances. We didn't make any stupid mistakes at the back. Admittedly it was just West Brom, but it's something.

That, coupled with Ben Mee returning to first team training this week, means that maybe, just maybe, things are looking up for Burnley..?
