Sean Dyche: 'We have mountain to climb'

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has admitted that his side will find it difficult to survive in the Premier League.

The Clarets are bottom of the table after Saturday's defeat at West Ham United, which leaves them eight points adrift of safety with three games left to play.

"That makes it a whole big mountain to climb now. You're going into myths, legends and folklores," Clubcall.com quotes Dyche as saying.

"I'm a realist. I don't do blind faith. Positive realities, I call it. I'm positive but there has to be a reality."

Burnley travel to relegation rivals Hull City on Saturday.
