Burnley boss Sean Dyche has been impressed by the work of Southampton counterpart Ronald Koeman.

The Clarets entertain a Saints side who have lost three games on the spin and who have slipped from second down to fifth in the Barclays Premier League table.

"He's done a fine job so far," said the Burnley manager.

"He took over a club that was obviously in transition regarding the player trading side and a lot was made out of that and where the team would go.

"They've brought in money and used money wisely to bring in some players he wanted and they look like a fine side.

"They've had a little blip at the moment but they've played the big boys of the division.

"He's doing a great job; that's how it looks to me. They're a good side and have a good mixture in there. They can play in different ways and so far, so good for him.

"But he's coming to Turf Moor and that's a challenge for them and a good one for us to go and pit our wits against those types of players and that type of manager."
