Burnley boss Sean Dyche believes his side's dismal away form will pile all the pressure on rock-bottom Sunderland heading into Saturday's Premier League clash at the Stadium of Light.
The Clarets head to the north-east having picked up just two of their 31 points on their travels this season despite a much-improved display in the 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield last week.
Dismissing the notion of mind games, Dyche insisted it is inevitable that fans of other teams in the top flight will harbour strong expectations of claiming three points whenever his own side are the visitors.
