Sean Dyche is up for the fight as he looks to steer the Clarets through choppy waters.
More than six years into his Turf Moor reign as Burnley boss, Dyche is battling to steer his team away from relegation danger.
The contrast with last season’s challenge for Europe could hardly be greater with the Clarets currently 21 points worse off than their tally this time 12 months ago.
Dyche would rather be repeating that but is still relishing the scrap in the latest chapter of a Burnley career that has featured two promotion successes and four seasons in the top flight – including the Clarets’ highest league finish for 44 years.
