Where do Burnley rank among the dirtiest teams away from home in the Premier League?

The club have only had one player sent off in the last three Premier League campaigns, Robbie Brady seeing red at Huddersfield in January 2019.

Indeed, in 228 Premier League games in total, Burnley players have only received seven red cards, all of which came away from Turf Moor.

Opponents have collected 19 dismissals in that time.

The Clarets were ninth in the fairplay league last season, with 67 yellow cards.

However, away matches are generally considered more difficult fixtures than home games - away from the comfort of their home stadium and supporters, some teams feel the need to add more aggression and intensity to their play to get the best result possible.

In doing so they increase the chance of conceding fouls.
