Burnley boss Sean Dyche says his two strikers cannot play without each other.

Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes have been excellent playing up front together this season.

"A lot has been made of me playing two centre forwards, but I think centre forwards are the best players, in that it's the hardest job, so if there are two of them, commonsensically it gives you at least somewhat of a better chance," the Burnley boss said.

"But I appreciate the players you've got, if you've got a key centre forward who needs other players in midfield to go and adapt, if you've got wide players who can come inside and join in with the centre forward, then that's another weapon.

"But with us, I think they need each other - and Jay Rod as well, he came on and nearly nicked a goal (against Watford) and was effective.

"I do like playing two centre forwards.

"I think it's effective, when they play well, together, and when they link, when they do that, you usually see two centre halves in trouble."
