Burnley caretaker boss Mike Jackson: Senior players driving survival push

Burnley caretaker boss Mike Jackson says their revival is thanks to their senior players.

Under Jackson, Burnley have picked up a 10 points from 12 possible, climbing above Leeds United in the process. Burnley have four games left this season, facing off against Aston Villa twice, Spurs and Newcastle. They currently sit on 34 points, with one more win likely to see them safe.

And speaking following their 2-1 win over Watford, which all but relegated the Hornets, Jackson believes the experience within the Burnley squad has helped them to turnaround their fortunes.

He said, "The games are that emotionally charged at the moment that I don't think you are going to get silky games of football, it is about finding a way of winning.

“I think they know (nothing achieved). It was enjoy today and tonight but then be ready to go again next week and nothing changes. They are an experienced enough group to know what is at stake and the focus is on the next game."
