Burnley fans aren’t having any of Sean Dyche’s chat as he talks before the Liverpool game on Wednesday night.

The Clarets are struggling for form this season and find themselves in the middle of a relegation battle – a battle that Dyche is trying his best to win.

And part of that is the message that gaffer send out in the media. But there are some Burnley supporters who aren’t buying his reused rhetoric.

Speaking to the official club website, the Lancashire based manager told fans that the side has changed a lot over the years and that he’s looking for another big ‘shift’ that carries the team to safety.

And over the aisle, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will do his level best to make sure that doesn’t happen against the Reds.

Manchester City beat Watford on Tuesday night to open the gap at the top of the table, and Klopp will be well aware of the importance to keep on winning.

Three points against Burnley cuts the deficit with City to just two – although with their squad depth and quality it feels as if they can go the whole season unbeaten.

But back to Wednesday night and Liverpool should get a win against the Turf Moor outfit. They have lost five out of their last six Premier League games and conceded at least twice in five of their last six.

This is a far cry to their normal defensive resilience, and it’ll definitely be a cause for concern to Dyche. On the other hand, Klopp will be licking his lips at the thought of unleashing the new Fab Four against a brittle back line.
