Stick with Mike Jackson... unless it's Pep Guardiola! Burnley players give their backing to interim boss after crucial win over Southampton as midfielder Josh Brownhill says the squad want to keep winning to get him the job permanently

Burnley players want a decent result against Wolves on Sunday so that interim Mike Jackson keeps the job until the end of the season.

The Clarets have benefited from a no-manager bounce — after under-23s coach Jackson stepped in following Sean Dyche’s shock dismissal — and clinched four points out of six against West Ham and Southampton

They will climb out of the relegation zone with a win or draw at Turf Moor (Everton play later in the day) and chairman Alan Pace may reflect that his search for a new boss won’t be necessary until the summer, with club captain Ben Mee assisting Jackson.
