Last time out in the Premier League, it took the Clarets until the seventh match day for them to record their first three points of the campaign.

Second-half goals from Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony were enough to see off a Sunderland side who are likely to be one of their main relegation rivals this year.

It means all three newly-promoted sides have already won after two games, marking a stark difference to previous seasons gone by.

Leeds United were beaten 5-0 by Arsenal, however, following their opening day win against Everton, seeing them slip below Burnley on goal difference.

Elsewhere, West Ham and Wolves both remain pointless, while the likes of Brighton, Aston Villa and Burnley’s next opponents – Manchester United – have just one point to their name.
