  • Burnley forced the rest of the Championship to sit up and take notice last weekend as they hammered a struggling Cardiff side 5-0, despite turning in a performance that was far from electrifying.
  • Scott Parker's men have scored nine goals in their opening two league games as they look to repeat their title-winning feats of the 2022/23 campaign.
