Boss Sean Dyche is relying on a united front to keep propelling the Clarets forward as they embark on another Premier League campaign.

Dyche has guided Burnley to six successive top-flight seasons and seven in the last eight years.

His side gets ready to go again with Brighton first up at Turf Moor on Saturday.

And the Clarets’ chief is taking nothing for granted in the quest to keep the run going as he looks for the collective strength of the club to come to the fore again.

“I think people trust me. I don’t say it to cover any tracks. It just is a re-set. Every season is a new season, it’s a new challenge,” Dyche told Clarets Plus.

“The market shifts sometimes, teams shift sometimes. You have to go and earn the right again.

“But they are the things that wet your whistle, they are the things that get you up in the morning to go ‘right, here’s the challenge'.

“It’s right in front of my eyes, it’s right in front of the eyes of the staff, the team and our supporters.

“That bond and the connection as a collective – including the supporters being a big part of that and coming back into the stadiums – is all important.

“So, everyone has got to keep their noses in the right direction.”

The Clarets haven’t had such a good run in the top tier of English football since their uninterrupted 25-year spell as a First Division side ended in 1971.

It’s a purple patch in the club’s modern-day history and one Dyche isn’t looking to end as he prepares for the start of the 2021/22 season and approaches the ninth anniversary of his time in charge at Turf Moor.

“It’s something to be enjoyed but it’s also something to build on and be hungry for more. I’m certainly hungry for more,” added the Burnley boss, who celebrated his 50th birthday earlier this summer.

“I don’t want to just relax and go ‘oh well, we had a good spell’.

“It’s an amazingly good spell but the point is it’s respected, but it’s parked very quickly. It’s what comes next. That’s what I’m interested in.”
