Sean Dyche: 'Burnley must be at best to see off Cardiff City'

Sean Dyche talks up the talents in the Cardiff City ranks, admitting that his Burnley side will have to produce a strong showing to pick up all three points this weekend.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has called on his players to hit their top levels when they take on Cardiff City this weekend.

The Clarets, who are currently unbeaten in eight, could end the weekend top of the Championship pile if results go their way.

Dyche takes his team to South Wales looking to keep the pressure on at the summit at the very least, against a Cardiff side who have looked far better on home soil than on their travels so far this term.

"Looking at [Cardiff's] squad on paper they have some really good players, some of who have been there for a long time," the former Watford manager told reporters ahead of Saturday's match. "They've certainly got good experience and it seems they've had good home form and been a bit up and down away from home.

"That's probably what a Championship season is about and we've had our own share of that. I've seen them a couple of times and they are decent side, but I could say that virtually every week.

"They certainly have strength in depth and it's whether they have strength on the day. We have to show our own strength with a good performance to get what we all what, which is three points."

Cardiff have not tasted defeat against Burnley in any of their last 11 meetings.
