Ricardo Pepi is a medical away from Burnley
The deal with Fulham is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

14 unbeaten for Burnley
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 14 matches without defeat is a foundation Burnley did not have in the autumn.

Nobody wins at Burnley
11 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Burnley beat the market to Brendan Galloway from Leeds United
Leeds United will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Brendan Galloway has pre-agreed a move to Burnley, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.
