Supercomputer predicts Burnley's final finish following heavy Man City defeat
Burnley’s miserable recent record against Manchester City continued with another heavy defeat at the Etihad on Saturday.
It saw them drop into the relegation zone for the first time this season since their opening day 3-0 defeat at Tottenham.
Elsewhere, Sunderland continued their impressive start to the season with a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, while fellow newly-promoted side Leeds United drew 2-2 with Bournemouth.
Wolves looked to be heading for their first win of the season at Tottenham, only to be pegged back deep into stoppage-time, while West Ham drew 1-1 with Everton in Nuno Espirito Santo’s first game in charge.
