Heaton keeps getting better and England must decide - Dyche

Tom Heaton's fine form has earned him the praise of Sean Dyche as calls for him to be England's number one continue.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says Tom Heaton is getting better all the time, but will not interfere in the debate over whether he should become England number one.

The former Manchester United goalkeeper made 11 saves - a Premier League-high – in the 3-1 loss at Southampton last month and produced a fine performance when his side drew 0-0 with Manchester United last time out.

Joe Hart and Fraser Forster are Heaton's main rivals to start for England, with Dyche unwilling to pressure Gareth Southgate despite praising the Burnley keeper's constant improvement.
