Burnley Manager Vincent Kompany Asserts Premier League Bar Raised, Survival Harder for Promoted Teams

Burnley's current standing at the 19th place raises concerns while the team struggles with a solitary win and eight defeats from their initial 10 matches; also set to battle without key players amid injury worries.

• Burnley Manager, Vincent Kompany, feels the challenge for newly promoted teams to remain in the premier league has increased significantly since he left Manchester City four years ago, due to increased investments by teams at the bottom.
• Despite Burnley's dismal performance, standing at 19th place with only one win in their first 10 matches, Kompany is not panicking and believes staying up is not only about survival but also about growth.
• He identifies Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth as the teams Burnley needs to outperform in order to avoid relegation.
• Addressing their poor home form is crucial for Burnley's survival in the Premier League, having lost all five home league games so far.
• The team is set to face challenges without key players like Josh Cullen, who has been suspended, and Lyle Foster, who is still recovering from an injury.
