EPL review week 17: Burnley for the Champions League anyone?

The first part of a midweek two-parter sees Burnley move into a Champions League place after beating Stoke, Crystal Palace walks out of the bottom three for the first time this season with a late, late win against Watford, and Huddersfield loses again, this time to the Champions Chelsea.

Burnley 1 v 0 Stoke 

If the Premier League were to end today, Burnley would be in the Champions League. Think about that for a second. It’s as absurd at those palm trees you see inside shopping centres.

And it’s not as if they’re hitting a white hot vein of form, slamming goals in, left, right and centre. But here’s the thing with Burnley. They don’t concede goals. With 12 in the Goals Against column, only the two Manchester teams have better rocks at the back.
