This was their 3rd successive draw in the Premier League leaving them in 18th place with just 10 points.
Both sides would be keen to get a run going or some sort of consistency. Otherwise, it will not be long before they succumb to the pressure of this season.
These two sides recently met in Round 2 of the EFL Cup in August, where Burnley won 4-3 on penalties after it finished 0-0 in regulation time.
