Sean Dyche feels it is a badge of honour that Burnley are being touted in the band of clubs chasing a European spot.
The Clarets head to West Ham United tonight (Wednesday) with an opportunity to move up to eighth place, which could yet be enough to snatch the last Europa League spot.
Three points would also take them to 49 points and within a handful of equalling the club’s best Premier League haul of 54, achieved the last time the Clarets qualified for Europe, two years ago.
And Dyche, whose consistent side have lost just once in 11 games either side of the lockdown, takes great pride in the fact his players are again pushing the boundaries against some illustrious challengers.
