Burnley boss Dyche warns Arsenal: You'll be facing reality today

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has warned Arsenal to expect a dose of "reality" today.

Dyche vowed to continue with his “reality tactics' when required, as he looks to get his side back on the up.

He said: “It's very simple. If everyone thinks that every team in the Premier League is going to play the beautiful game, at the moment there is only one winner and that is Manchester City.

“If we are all going to roll it out from the back and play 600 passes, they win… end of story!

“You have to find a way and that's what we've done consistently well here; find a way to be successful.

“We've had to fight, we've had to work, we've played some good, productive stuff at times, and always found a way.

“That doesn't change because when you play these powerful clubs, it's very difficult.

“It's reality tactics, rather than negative tactics, and we've tinkered with the side many times before."
