Goalkeeper Tom Heaton has revealed that Burnley are reveling in the relegation dogfight rather than being fazed by the prospect of the drop.

Burnley are currently in a thrilling six-way battle to avoid the drop and while most teams would prefer to avoid the drama of being involved in an ugly dogfight at the bottom of the table, Heaton has stated that the Clarets are rather enjoying the experience.

Heaton told the Lancashire Telegrap: "It's brilliant, we're relishing it. It's very tight and we're looking forward to the last seven games and turning it in our favour.

"It probably mirrors the feeling at the start of the season where everybody wrote us off, but as the season has gone on, people have started to see what we are about and understand how we go about it, and it has been great changing people's opinions. The general consensus is we are a very good team who makes it tough for anyone."
