Sean Dyche has challenged his players to smash through the 40-point barrier at Newcastle and then see where they can take their season.
The Clarets can equal their second highest points tally in the Premier League era with a first win at St James’ Park since 1976.
And with 10 games remaining after this weekend, Dyche feels there is still all to play for this season.
“Forty points strongly suggests that you are in the Premier league for the next season,” said the Burnley manager.
“The first milestone is that 40 points, and for a lot of teams, ourselves included, that is our first train of thought.
