Burnley boss Sean Dyche says they're taking the FA Cup seriously this season.

The competition is the best chance of success for Dyche and Fulham boss Scott Parker who meet in the fourth round on Sunday aware there is a winnable tie against Bournemouth or Crawley in round five.

Dyche understands the profile of English managers will rise if they were able to take a lap of honour.

"I like the idea of English managers working at the top level. I think it's good for our game," says Dyche.

"I've been considered successful because of the size of Burnley and what we've achieved but to be truly visually successful to everyone, of course winning a trophy is going to be of great benefit.

"At the same time, I don't think it is essential for an English manager to be recognised purely by winning something."
