Burnley has a chance to build on their impressive start to the season when they host Rotherham United in Championship action on Wednesday with kickoff at 10:45 pm.
As of September 14th, 2019, Burnley is two points clear at the top of the Championship and has a fantastic scoring record.
Burnley has a run of 16 games without defeat, dating back to their only loss under summer managerial appointment Vincent Kompany’s tenure – 1-0 away to Watford in August.
The Clarets are currently on a fantastic run of form, with 32 goals already scored this season, four more than any other team in the Football League.
This week’s 5-1 win at Wigan Athletic and 4-2 victory at Sunderland highlighted Burnley’s potency in front of goal.
Rotherham United was guided back to the second tier by Paul Warne, a solid points total for a newly-promoted side and one that puts them five points clear of the relegation zone.
However, Warne left the club in September to join League One side Derby County, with Exeter City boss Matt Taylor being brought in as his replacement.
Taylor has made a decent start at his new club, acquiring eight points from seven games in charge, including two wins three days earlier this month.
