Sean Dyche expects 'strange results' when the Premier League resumes, as teams rush to get players back to fitness amid coronavirus crisis

Premier League players will need time to find their feet once the top-flight season resumes and the uncertainty surrounding their fitness and mentality could lead to surprising results, Burnley manager Sean Dyche has said.

English soccer was halted in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic but clubs are training in small groups as part of the Premier League's 'Project Restart', which envisages a return to play in June.

'You often notice that at the beginning of a season or the end of a season you get these odd results where teams are either finding their feet or playing out the season when other teams are fighting for something,' Dyche told Sky Sports.
