Michael Duff says the Burnley players will be going all-out to make a positive impression on new boss Eddie Howe.

And the defender knows a new manager means a clean slate for all of the squad.

“Everyone’s going to try to impress the manager and make him pick you," Duff said.

"I’m sure everyone will be chomping at the bit when the new manager comes in,” added Duff, for whom Howe will be his fourth Clarets boss in seven years.

“That’s football – people come, people go.

“I’m sure he’ll come in and stamp what he wants us to do.

“People have opinions of you whether they want you to play for them or whether they don’t.

"I’ll be no different to any other player when a new manager comes in.

"I want to make a good impression and hopefully he’ll want to play me, same as everyone else in the dressing room.”
