Joe Hart is confident Burnley will now start climbing the table.

With Europe no longer a distraction Hart believes Burnley can get back to proving that they are more than capable of handling life in the Premier League.

"This team is my team and I believe in them," the 75-cap England goalkeeper told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

"They've proved before me that they can more than handle the Premier League and that's all we're involved in now, so it's time to do it again."

Asked if there was more to come from the Clarets after the break, with games against Bournemouth, Cardiff and Huddersfield to come as well, Hart said: "I do, loads more energy and quality, but talk is cheap."
