Sean Dyche has admitted that Burnley will be the underdogs for their visit to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this weekend.

Burnley currently sit 17th in the table, having won just once away from home since being promoted back to the Premier League for the start of the current season.

The manager told the Burnley Express: "We're going to White Hart Lane, there's only one favourite, we're playing Liverpool, there's only one favourite, we're playing Man City, there's one favourite.

"I'm not doing us down, but there is. If you walk into any bookies they will be favourite. I think there was a rare game when we played Hull, I think, and we weren't the underdogs. That's one game in 16.

"So there lies the truth, bookies rarely get it wrong with that sort of stuff. We're still underdogs, all I'm saying is we're maybe a bit more serious underdogs than maybe people thought at first. I don't remotely think there's a manager out there looking at it like that. That's the outside view. Managers and professionals know they have to be on their guard and they have to play well."

Burnley have lost just once in their last six league outings.
