How Sean Dyche uses £10m Jeff Hendrick could define Burnley's season

Sean Dyche almost always sets his team up in a 4-4-2 formation, but the club-record signing of Jeff Hendrick gives him a lot of different tactical options.

With a fee of around £10 million paid to sign Hendrick from Derby County after a summer-long chase for the midfielder, it is clear Dyche made the Republic of Ireland international one of his top targets in the transfer window. Hendrick was on the bench for the 1-1 draw against Hull City on Saturday but impressed enough in a brief cameo from the bench to suggest he will be in the team sooner rather than later, perhaps even for this weekend's trip to Premier League champions Leicester City.
