Burnley boss Sean Dyche insists they've silenced their critics.

The Clarets head into the final international break of the campaign in 13th place in the top flight, with an eight-point gap to the bottom three, despite not winning away this season.

"People keep talking about that 'clear' idea, and I understand why, but we're always on the knife edge of daring to look up the way," said Dyche.

"I don't think we're the real deal, there's a lot of work we have to do, and we have to continue to go hard, but at the beginning of the season, I think our fans, the media, would have been surprised to see where we are.

"Despite our away record, we've given a good show of ourselves, but it's only so far."
