Burnley manager Sean Dyche hopes that the club's supporters will help the team to continue their 11-month unbeaten home league run.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has expressed his belief that the club's supporters could make the difference this season.

The Clarets, who sit second in the Championship, welcome promotion rivals Nottingham Forest to Turf Moor on Saturday before hosting Derby County the following weekend.

Dyche hopes that a vocal support will help Burnley to maintain their 11-month unbeaten league run at home.

"We are trying to enhance what we are doing and achieving as a group at the club. We want to take that further and the fans can play a big part in that," Dyche told the club's official website.

"I've been told we have the sixth highest away following in the league, which is incredible for a club of our size. That is an achievement in itself from our fans and I am sure we will see even more of them at Turf Moor, particularly with some really big games coming up.

"We've made it a tough place for other teams to come. We want that to continue and never more so when the fans are there in numbers and behind us, as they have been all season."

The Clarets drew 1-1 at Bournemouth last weekend.
