Burnley's new predicted final Premier League finish and points tally after Bournemouth draw
Burnley missed a big opportunity to reduce the gap to safety when they played out a goalless draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.
The stalemate means they remain nine points adrift of safety, but now only have eight games remaining to salvage something from what has been a hugely disappointing season.
The weekend’s result also means Scott Parker’s side have won just one of their last 21 games in the Premier League.
Elsewhere in the fight for survival, there were draws aplenty across the board down at the wrong end of the table.
Bottom side Wolves came from behind to finish 2-2 with Brentford last night, 10-man Leeds United drew 0-0 at Crystal Palace while Tottenham salvaged a late point at Liverpool.
Nottingham Forest were also held at home by Burnley’s next opponents Fulham, while West Ham claimed an impressive point at home to Manchester City.
