THEY

really should build a statue of Sean Dyche at Turf Moor. After their great start, Burnley only need five more wins and a few draws to book their place in the Premier League next season. They are on the same points total as Arsenal and Sunday’s showdown between the sides could be a shootout for a place in the top four. All this has been achieved after losing two key players in Michael Keane and Andre Gray. Everton have looked at Marco Silva and Sam Allardyce to replace Ronald Koeman but Dyche is staring them in the face. Dyche may be wondering for how much longer he can keep Burnley punching above their weight. Reputations can change quickly in the Premier League and chances to manage a club of Everton’s stature do not come along that often. But look at it this way: would you swap an outside chance at European football for another relegation battle?
