SEAN Dyche has questioned why Leicester City's lack of an away win in the Premier League this season hasn't attracted as much attention as Burnley.

The Foxes are, like the Clarets, winless on the road this season, although they have collected three points to Burnley's two.

But Dyche believes more is being made of Burnley's poor away record compared to that of Leicester City, even though they were champions last season.

"The thing that I do find interesting is that we seem to get as much airplay as Leicester," Dyche said of the Foxes, who have won away in the FA Cup and in Europe.

"They won the league last year. They’re in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and they haven’t won away. We seemingly get as much airplay as that, which I find interesting.

"I’m not trying to pass the buck, by the way, I’ll make that clear. I’m happy for everyone to question our away form. I don’t really hear that much about Leicester really. They won the league last year, they’re Champions League quarter-finalists, and they haven’t won away."

Burnley have relied on their home form this season, with nine successes at Turf Moor, and Dyche believes that evens up their disappointments on the road, a run which they will hope to end at Sunderland today (3pm).

Asked if he would have expected more than two points away from home at this stage of the campaign, Dyche said: "The facts are that we haven’t. That’s just what it is.

"You could balance it up very quickly, and most do, with our home form. If we’d won six at home and three away, I don’t think anyone would bat an eyelid."

Burnley have suffered moments of misfortune away from home, such as the ricochet that allowed Liverpool to equalise a week ago and Arsenal's controversial late winner at the Emirates Stadium, but Dyche urges his side to stay strong mentally and put those setbacks to the back of their minds.

"I don’t cry it in. I mention it factually. I try to speak in facts," the Clarets chief said.

"But I don’t cry it in, so I hope the players take my lead on it, and think: Well, it’s done now, we move forward. I’m very much like that in my own life, let alone for a decision that goes against you. What’s done is done.

"I try to call it factually. And sometimes I explain to the team: This is what I thought. Most, it’s been pretty obvious, some of the decisions or some of the things that have gone against us.

"But I go: Yeah, OK, it’s parked, we move forward. I think that’s just the way we’ve built a way of working. And I think the players have bought into that.

"We tend not to cry it in. We tend not to look for excuses. I certainly don’t. If I think it’s more fact than excuse, I’ll call it with you. But I try not to go for excuses. I try to go for realities if I can."
