Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood has set himself a new appearances target.

Westwood fittingly marked his 250th Premier League appearance with an outstanding performance as Burnley beat Everton in their last game before the international break.

And the 30-year-old hopes there are at least 50 more to follow to allow him to join current Clarets' team-mate Phil Bardsley in the prestigious '300 club'.

“Coming from Crewe I never thought I'd play in the Premier League, so get 250 games is remarkable," said Westwood, whose total career appearances stand at 448.

“Hopefully, I've got a couple more years in it. I want to reach 300.

“I don't think there will be too many (here) in that category. Bardo's in it and I want to chase him down.

“That's the biggest aim. To get to 300 Premier League games would be some career and I'd retire a very happy man.

“It's not going to be easy because I think it would have to be two more years in the Prem and playing a lot of games in each year, which isn't easy.

“I'm getting on but physically it's the best I've felt and hopefully there are many more games to come."
