Burnley are punching well above their weight this season and sit sixth in the Premier League, having already beaten Chelsea (away) and drawn 1-1 with both Spurs (at Wembley) and Liverpool (also away). Arsenal areone point and one place above them in the table.

Sean Dyche's team are hard to beat and there are similarities with one of Europe's current great managers. Diego Simeone has transformed Atlético Madrid applying the same principles as Dyche, breaking La Liga's duopoly with a very un-Spanish style of play, taking a pragmatic approach that few managers in charge of such a massive club might.

Is it really so foolish to suggest Dyche is the Premier League's version of the man from Argentina?

The joys of 4-4-2

Atlético Madrid press aggressively when close to their opponent's goal and drop deep in numbers when defending their own half. They compress the pitch, condense the middle, double up in wide areas and rely on individual flair to create scoring chances.

First and foremost, they are hard to beat. Simeone likes to minimise risk.

Burnley do exactly the same things with a different standard of player. The team defends as a unit but depends on individual skill - Simeone has the advantage of playing this energetic, aggressive, defensive style with some of the world's best creative players while Dyche squeezes goals out of New Zealand's Chris Wood.
