So between now and the next international break we face.

Everton (a)
Arsenal (H)
Leicester (a)
Norwich (H)

How many points if any can we rack up from those matches. I'll predict the following.

Everton 1
Arsenal 1
Leicester 0
Norwich 3

I'd be reasonably content with that return, as that would keep us on roughly a point a match, which should be more than enough to ensure survival.

4

Pessimistic: 3
Optimistic: 5

8

Everton (a) - 0
Arsenal (H) - 3
Leicester (a) - 0
Norwich (H) - 3

Not a good idea I think pal…. Had plenty already.

Everton 1
Arsenal 3
Leicester 0
Norwich 3

Would be great.

Will be disappointed if we don't get 4.

The one thing about dyche is that when it comes crunch time he somehow gets a team together and gets points.

We will probably do things the Burnley way and draw at Everton, win at Leicester and lose to Norwich and Arsenal.
Lets hope we're up for the 'easier' games as much as we are for the harder.

7.

Everton 0
Arsenal 0
Leicester 0
Norwich 1

10 I think we will struggle to beat Leicester

12

13 - being optimistic

3 more likely

If we can't beat Arsenal and Norwich then we're in trouble.

Yes I'd agree with that, we really need to be picking up min of 4 points in those 2 fixtures.

Anything we get at Everton & Leicester would have to be considered bonus points, now that's not to say we won't pick up results in those games, but our bread and butter fixtures have to be the home games against the teams around us, that's where you'd expect us to amass the majority of our points.

2 points - a draw against Norwich & Everton.

In the 8 Home matches against the teams that finished 12th and lower last season Burnley Won 3, Lost 2 and had 3 Draws meaning that we amassed 12 points out of a possible 24 from these so-called "bread and butter" fixtures.

Big improvement needed in that area this season and maybe the return of crowds will help.

Everton 0
Arsenal 3
Leicester 1
Norwich 3

Really looking forward to the overdue home win v Arsenal to get Arteta the sack and send their fans into social media meltdown

Leicester will be difficult, Arsenal will depend on them, but i suspect (sadly) that their glitch is over, I quite fancy us for a point at least on Monday and Norwich - like Brighton - is the sort of game that we need three points from to stay up; so three points is the minimum, I'd be OK with four, happy with five, overjoyed with six and ecstatic with anything above that. How about all twelve and then we can all rest easy until for a month or sor?
