Burnley boss Sean Dyche is delighted with the self-belief of his players.

Victory over Southampton sees the Clarets move out of the dropzone.

"If you're beginning to find success in any walk of life you feel more confident, more at ease and you deliver usually with a bit more freedom," Dyche told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"The players are doing that well at the moment but there's a real authenticity and honesty about this group, they get it from me and the staff and between themselves.

"They know this is not a walk in the park.

"But we haven't really thought about the table either way, and I mean that sincerely.

"We weren't thinking about the league every week last year. We believe in performances, if they're correct they usually get you what you want. There's no guarantee with that but usually."
