Dyche seeks Clarets consistency
Burnley manager Sean Dyche says the players have to achieve consistency if they want to stay clear of the bottom three in the Premier League.
The Clarets are undefeated in six league games, having won three in a row at the turn of the year and having drawn their last three.
We have to keep performing at a high level, we have to stay consistent.

That run of form has enabled them to keep their heads above water in the relegation fight but only just.
They sit fourth from bottom of the Premier League table, two points clear of Cardiff who are in the final relegation place.
So, while on the back of a good recent run, they cannot afford to let their standards slip if they want to stay above the bottom three.
They are away to Brighton on Saturday with Dyche confident they are playing their way out of trouble.
He said at a press conference: "I look (at the table) but I am not staring at it every day because I know we can take care of ourselves and that is what we have to do.
"We have to keep performing at a high level, we have to stay consistent because if we don't then we know from earlier in the season that it doesn't pay you back.
"But our levels are rising all the time now I think."
Burnley are 11/4 to win away on Saturday with Brighton 1/1 and the draw 23/10.
Dyche also told the assembled media that Steven Defour is unlikely to be involved at the Amex Stadium, but both Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Robbie Brady are available.
They face a Brighton side struggling for form with just one victory out of their last 10 league games, a run which has left them in mid-table but just five points clear of Cardiff.
Burnley are 15/8 to be relegated at the end of the season while Brighton are 16/1.
