Burnley manager Sean Dyche does not want to see Bournemouth relegated from the Premier League.

The Clarets and Cherries are both battling to survive this season, with a good chance that one of them goes down.

But Dyche, who saw his team win 3-0 over Bournemouth at the weekend, does not want them to go down.

He told the Daily Echo: "I hope so [Bournemouth stay up]. I like Eddie [Howe - Bournemouth manager. I like what he does, I like his groups that he's had.

"It is a challenge now they are probably in their first real tough spell since they have been in the Premier League, I think. A real long, tough spell.

"We had it ourselves last year. You have to find a way of coming out of it. It's not an easy task.

"But they've still got good players in my opinion. We will see how the season opens up."
