Dyche calm over Clarets form
Sean Dyche has challenged his in-form Burnley outfit to maintain the high standards they have set in going unbeaten in their last eight Premier League matches.
The Clarets have lifted themselves six points clear of the relegation places due to their upturn in fortunes, but head coach Dyche has warned that now is not the time to think that the job is done.
The players deserve a lot of credit for this run, but they know that the next game is the most important.

He told reporters: "Our target is to keep performing. This league is very demanding and the next game is always the most important, so collectively, we keep pushing to get the results we all want.
"The players deserve a lot of credit for this run, but they know that the next game is the most important, we've spoken about that so many times.
"We didn't lose sight of it when we weren't doing so well either, it's an unforgiving league and we know that. We know that we've got to continue the good work that's getting done with good performances."
Burnley head to Tyneside on Tuesday evening to take on Newcastle United, with the Magpies having gained ten points from a possible 15 from their last five league outings.
And their head coach Rafa Benitez, whose side now have 28 points - two less than Burnley - thinks a couple more wins could see his side all but safe from the threat of relegation.
He added: "I think this year (safety) will be less than 40 points. This year I think 38 could be fine, even less maybe, but it depends."
Newcastle won 2-1 at Turf Moor earlier this season and are 9/1 to triumph by the same scoreline on Tuesday, with the hosts 11/8 to keep a clean sheet, while Salomon Rondon is 2/1 to score at any time in the game.
