Burnley midfielder Steven Defour is confident they can keep proving the doubters wrong.
Although both Hull and Sunderland are now odds-on to go down, Burnley are still third favourites for the drop, and their Belgian midfielder said that was being used as encouragement within the squad.
“It's a motivation," he told the Lancashire Telegraph.
“For us it's quite simple - nobody expects anything from us so we just want to give it a go and see."
