    KEY OUTS

    Michael Keane (Everton, £25m), George Boyd (Sheff Wed, free), Michael Kightly (Southend, free)

    REASONS TO BE POSITIVE

    Turf Moor was their saviour last season with Burnley boasting the ninth-best record in the league. Have lost Keane but managed to hold onto centre-back partner Ben Mee.

    REASONS TO BE PESSIMISTIC

    Lack of pace in attack and they just don’t look a team that will score many goals. One-dimensional and limited offensively, is Dyche capable of altering their approach?

    ONE TO WATCH

    Charlie Taylor. The young left-back can add real thrust down the flanks.

    EXPECTATION

    Anything above the bottom three is positive after a summer of precious investment. Win or lose, Dyche prides his side on being competitive.

    REALITY

    New signings have solidified the team rather than looking to take them to the next level. Look destined for another scrap.
