Burnley boss Sean Dyche is delighted with his team's form going into the New Year.

Burnley were thumped 5-0 at Manchester City on November 28 but an improved run of results against sides above them in the Premier League table has lifted the Clarets three points clear of the relegation zone at Christmas.

“It shows we are capable even against very good sides and Wolves are a very good side," the Burnley manager said.

“Before the run of games we've just had, I don't think many people had us down for the points we returned against Arsenal, Villa, Everton and Wolves, so to come out with eight points and unbeaten is very pleasing.

“There are good signs of getting back to where we think we could be and challenging and being effective in games. Generally, performances have been getting stronger. We've got to keep working hard to keep doing that."

Next up for Burnley is a trip to Leeds.
