Burnley manager Sean Dyche has played down his side's poor start to the Premier League season, claiming that the statistics around their play show a side capable of competing in the top flight.
The Clarets are currently at the foot of the table, winless and with just one league goal to their name thus far.
Dyche, however, is unperturbed, telling BBC Sport: "We look at games in many different ways, objectively with the sound down so there is no emotion to it. Six games into last season, we had 80 efforts at goal and 40 on target.
"This season after six games in the Premier League we've had 72 efforts at goal and 37 on target which is a statistically higher amount.
"We're not a zealot to stats but, as I say, we use them to guide us and if those stats weren't as strong as what they are then we'd start questioning ourselves."
