Burnley won their last PL match against us 2-1 at Turf Moor in February. They last won consecutive top-flight games against us back in April 1975. They have lost their 28 PL games in London (75%), winning 3 and drawing 4. Since beating West Ham 3-0 in March 2018, the clarets have lost 7 of their 8 such games (D1), conceding 23 goals in the process.
Burnley won their last away league game against 3-0 against Watford - they've not won consecutive league games on the road since a run of 3 in April 2018. They have completed just 38 sequences of 10 or more passes in open play this season, fewer than any other PL team and 150 fewer than we have managed (188).
We have won 7 of our last 8 home games against Burnley in all competitions (D1) since a 1-4 defeat in the league cup in January 1983. We have conceded twice in each of Mourinho's first 4 matches in charge in all competitions. We haven't conceded two or more goals in five consecutive games since Feburay 2004 under David Pleat.
Son has been directly involved in 13 goals in his 14 appearances at our new stadium in all competitons, more than any other player (8 goals, Assists). He averages a goal involvement every 83 minutes at the ground, compared to 1 every 101 minutes at Wembley and 1 every 93 minutes at the old White Hart Lane. Dele is scoring a goal every 85 minutes under Jose, compared to 1 every 374 under Poch. He last scored in 3 consecutive PL games in March 2017.
Mourinho has faced Burnley at home more often without winning than he has any other side in all competitions in his managerial career, though all 3 such games against them have ended level (1 with Chelsea and 2 with Man Utd).
