Sean Dyche would have no qualms about welcoming the potential pitfalls of Europa League football. Burnley are now favourites to claim seventh spot in the Premier League after beating their nearest rivals Leicester to open up a nine-point gap with five games left. Provided Southampton do not pull off an FA Cup triumph, seventh will be enough to secure European football, something Burnley have not experienced for more than 50 years. For Burnley even to be spoken about, it’s a long, long way from where we were. “I think maybe the player deserved another colour of card but I hope we can have Kasper for the next game,” the Leicester manager said.
