Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"Sometimes the Premier League fixture list makes if difficult. Leicester won the league, then we had Liverpool at home. The West Ham game we are kicking ourselves a bit about but our fans know we put in decent displays, so I am not overly concerned.

"I like to think the fans understand. They are a great group to work with they give me everything they've got. We've just fallen short in the last couple of games but there is no concern on my part. But this is a big fixture for both clubs - it could send us both up into the top 10."

Sean Dyche

"The performances have been okay, they've been good enough to get the points that we've got. I wasn't overthinking it back then, we weren't getting the results but I thought we were performing reasonably well. We are acutely aware it is a results business.

"It's fine margins, and ever more so in the Premier League. We're looking more solid as a group this time around. Maybe not playing as effectively all round as we were last time out but we've got considerably more points on the table.

"I don't think this group has ever lacked belief. It comes and goes and of course wins help it. Just walking in the stadium knowing you've got the capability of delivering some of the self-questions go away."
