Burnley boss Sean Dyche relishing Manchester United clash

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has insisted that he and his players are relishing their trip to Manchester United tomorrow night.

The Clarets are currently in 17th place in the Premier League table, one point above the drop zone.

The strugglers have won just one of their last eight matches in the top flight.

Despite being embroiled in a relegation battle, Dyche claims that he is looking forward to facing United and their wealth of big names at the Theatre of Dreams.

"This is the reality of the league," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "You've got to play everyone home and away. How they fall is irrelevant.

"It's the challenge we all wanted. I want it, the players want it, the town wanted it, the club wanted it. You can't then go, 'Oh, they're big games against big clubs'. Yes they are and that's exactly what we were expecting."

Burnley held United to a goalless draw when they met at Turf Moor earlier this season.
