With two games remaining, Vincent Kompany’s men sit five points adrift of Nottingham Forest, who they play on the final day.
For that game to matter, the Clarets must beat Tottenham on Saturday and hope Chelsea can overcome Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
But the fact Burnley have struggled in the top flight this term shouldn’t come as a huge surprise given the huge gulf in resources between the top two divisions.
Take a look below to see where Kompany’s squad ranks among the rest of the Premier League, according to Transfermarkt.
