Sean Dyche is my boss of the year over Pep Guardiola for his great man-management that has Burnley flying
Dyche has built his team on a strong defence which has been well drilled in training
DANNY HIGGINBOTHAM reflects on the weekend's action with his five main talking points.
The SunSport analyst explains why Sean Dyche is manager of the season - not Pep Guardiola - and assesses Huddersfield's chances of avoiding relegation.
SEAN PEPPED ’EM ALL
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has done a great job — but Sean Dyche is my manager of the year.
Victory over Leicester was Burnley’s fifth Premier League win in a row and they have been the surprise package this term.
Dyche has built his team on a strong defence which has been well drilled in training. Look at Saturday’s match-winner Kevin Long. He has come in for the last two games and it’s not been an issue whatsoever.
It shows Dyche does not just focus on the starting XI but all of his squad and that’s great man-management.
STOKING THE FIRES
The Potters’ visit to West Ham tonight is the biggest game in their Premier League history.
I feel 37 points will be needed to stay up, so Paul Lambert’s men require ten more from five games.
ALAN SHEARER Kane and De Bruyne have been brilliant by Salah is my player of the year
The first 20 minutes at the London Stadium will be huge and they have to quieten and frustrate the West Ham fans to get the game in their favour. It’s make or break for them. They simply need to win.
AS HUDD AS IT GETS
Huddersfield got a huge result against Watford and the 91st-minute winner by Tom Ince showed their spirit and togetherness.
I covered them a lot in the Championship last season and they have carried on the belief.
Staying up for the Terriers would be an incredible achievement and they have given themselves a really good opportunity.
