Sean Dyche feels the big test of Aston Villa’s season will come when the going gets tough.
The Clarets face a second successive game against a newly-promoted side this weekend at Villa Park, a week on from their impressive home win over Norwich City.
All three of the Premier League new boys, including runners-up Sheffield United, have taken different approaches to survive in the top-flight, with Villa spending over £100m, the Blades around £40m and Norwich largely sticking with the squad than won the Championship title.
And after experiencing promotion twice, Clarets boss Dyche admits he is keen to observe how the new boys adapt to the challenges of the Premier League.
