"It will be a really tough match. They were having a fantastic season before this happened (they took 10 points - ed.). I know Sean Dyche very well and have always admired his success at Burnley.

It's going to be difficult because they feel they've been treated unfairly and of course when you feel that way, you feel free and you have nothing to lose. But it's not just that, they also have good players and Sean is doing a great job.

They will be very motivated to face us after their brilliant win against Newcastle. But every game in the Premier League is hard, and the most important thing is that we have to be ready to compete better than we did in the last game," Pochettino was quoted as saying by the Chelsea press service.
