Burnley boss Sean Dyche: Premier League special, but don't discount Carabao Cup

Burnley boss Sean Dyche insists he'll always value the Carabao Cup.

The Clarets will meet Leeds United tonight.

He said: “The fact is that the Premier League is where everyone wants to be. It's nothing to do with downgrading a cup. It's just a fact. Everyone is clamouring to be in the Premier League.

“Clubs don't just want the riches. They want the kudos, they want what being in the Premier League brings from a brand and a club point of view, and the knock-on effect for the area.

“The whole town of Burnley benefits from the team being in the Premier League in some way or another.

“I've had some great times in cups, as everyone knows. I don't look at it as a lesser competition. I look at it as a competition we want to do well in."
