BURNLEY’S run of four successive away games has come at the perfect time for Clarets boss Sean Dyche, who insists the pressure is all on the opposition for the next month.

Dyche’s side begin four straight weekends of away games with a trip to 18th-placed Hull City tomorrow (3pm) as they look to improve on a record of just one point from 11 Premier League road trips this season.

The Clarets chief believes that record could work in his side’s favour with the Tigers, Swansea City, Liverpool and Sunderland all under pressure to add to Burnley’s away day woes.

“I think it’s brilliant for us. The timing’s magnificent,” said Dyche.

“The teams on the opposite side, they are expected now, we’re not because everyone looks at the form book and goes, ‘Well, it’s going to be hard for them to win away because they haven’t won any away’.

“Expectancy grows on the team you’re playing now. It’s a completely different thing now, going away.

“The run of away games, if you’re ever going to have them have them now. The demand is on everyone else, it’s not on us.

“Everyone is saying ‘Burnley don’t win away, they win at home’. When we get back from those games we have five home games out of nine (to end the season).

“It’s on Hull, Swansea, Liverpool and Sunderland to win, because it’s all about us not winning away. So it’s a case of ‘you’ve got to beat Burnley because they can’t win away’.

“Therefore we just go and take the challenge on. If it doesn’t go our way people just say ‘they’re not really winning on the road anyway’.

“It’s a strange mindset but it’s a fact, everyone will be thinking they’ve got to beat us.”

The Clarets have taken 29 of their 30 points at Turf Moor this season thanks to nine wins in front of their own fans.

The run of successive away games includes trips to three of the bottom six but while Dyche believes the expectancy is on the home teams to claim victory, he stresses his side will have their own expectations to match.

“The pressure’s not off because we put a lot on ourselves,” he said. “That will be the demand from others.

“We’re thinking how to piece it together tactically, what team do we play. We expect something from ourselves.

“The pundits will be saying Hull have got to beat Burnley because Burnley can’t win away.

“But the stats are coming your way. You can’t wait for them but as long as we’re performing the stats will come our way by the nature of football. We will win a game away just by the nature of football.”

After 25 games of the Premier League season Burnley are already out performing most outside expectations by sitting 12th in the table.

Dyche knows his side now have to finish the job with 13 games to go.

“We were putting demands on ourselves (at the start of the season), but most had us down as 20th or 19th. We’ve got to work to not be that,” he said.

“It’s a so far story, the Premier League is very difficult, you can’t rely on ‘oh we’re ok now’. You’ve got to keep going all the time, that’s our challenge now.”
