Five key talking points from the weekend Premier League action

Burnley just three points off the top-four

Another brilliant away win at Southampton for Sean Dyche’s team mean Burnley climb to seventh. The Clarets are now level on points with Liverpool and Arsenal.

While he is consistently linked with a move to Everton, surely Dyche would be mad to leave Turf Moor at this juncture?

If they can maintain this form to some degree throughout the season, a European place could be the Clarets come May.

Is Kevin De Bruyne the best player in the world?

Man City’s magnificent 3-1 win over Arsenal made it nine Premier League wins in a row.

Kevin De Bruyne was once again pulling the strings for the Citizens with another imperious performance.

On current form, the Belgian is arguably the best player in the world. His vision and passing ability are simply out of this world.

With Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo a little quiet compared to their usual standards, could a sea change be taking place?

Who’s next for West Ham?

West Ham suffered another ignominious defeat at home to Liverpool on Saturday evening.

The Hammers went down limply 4-1 in front of their own fans, slipping into the relegation zone.

Slaven Bilic looked completely deflated in his post-match press conference and was duly sacked on Monday morning.

Who do owners David Gold and David Sullivan turn to next? The World Cup play-offs have come at just the right time.
