​Burnley manager Dyche: Destiny still in our hands

Burnley manager Sean Dyche believes they still control their own destiny with respect to relegation.

The Clarets are among the few teams still fighting to see if they will be able to stay in the Premier League next season.

However, Dyche is not overly concerned, as he knows they will survive if they do their jobs.

"It gets to a point, which is now, where it's still right in our grasp, where it wasn't at Christmas," said Dyche to reporters.

"I think we've come a long way since that build-up to Christmas.

"It's easy to forget we only had 12 points at 19 games. We've now got 30, so that's a pretty healthy return. Now, we've got to continue to build on that.

"Since Christmas the actual form has been good. The last run has been tough, obviously.

"But if you mix that altogether, you'd certainly take the return in points.

"But we've got to get more. That's just what it tells you on the league table."
