The 50-year-old was fired by the Clarets last week in a bid to preserve their Premier League status with just eight games of the season to go.

“Finally, I would like to thank people across football who have been so positive about my career in recent days,” he said.

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has hinted that he will play his best XI against Burnley as Saints look to try and climb back into the top half of the ...

Armando Broja is likely to start again up front, with Che Adams the man who could come in to partner him in attack, if Hasenhuttl decides to go back to a 4-2-2-2. In midfield, he is likely to continue with Oriol Romeu and James Ward-Prowse, with Mohamed Elyounoussi and Stuart Armstrong as the two more advanced midfielders in Hasenhuttl's preferred 4-2-2-2 system. It is a different story for Southampton, with Hasenhuttl having an almost fully-fit squad to choose from for the game.

Sean Dyche has paid tribute to the Burnley supporters and the people he worked with during his nine and a half years in charge at Turf Moor.

“The town has become a huge part of my life. “I would like to thank the people of Burnley and fans of the club for their incredible kindness and support,” he said. The former Clarets boss issued a statement thanking everyone for the “truly incredible times, which are never to be forgotten” and said he was “looking forward to the next phase” of his career.

Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl talks to Sky. “It is very tight in the middle of the table and with a few wins you can achieve a lot. 8 min: Taylor plays a blind backpass down the Saints right, allowing Broja to tear off down the flank. McNeil swans in from the right and aims a curler towards the top left. He wins a header ten yards out - this is uncontested, too - and aims for the top right. Rodriguez finds a bit of space down the middle and slips a pass down the inside-right channel for Weghorst, who strides into the box. 7 min: Walker-Peters ambles in from the right, unchallenged until he reaches the edge of the box. 21 min: McNeil drops a shoulder to get past Lyanco down the right. 22 min: Brownhill finds Weghorst on the edge of the Saints D with a cute pass from the right. Taylor bustles down the left and wins a Burnley corner. 35 min: Brownhill tries to release Weghorst into the box with a wedge down the inside right. The ball balloons to Weghorst, who must score, a couple of yards out. A bobbled effort twangs out for a corner ... but then the flag goes up belatedly for offside.

The Lancashire club host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday and a win -- or even a draw -- would move them above Everton and out of the bottom three before Lampard's side face Liverpool in the Merseryside derby at Anfield later that day. Burnley, with their Under-23 coach Mike Jackson and injured club captain Ben Mee in temporary charge of the team, were playing with a level of creativity and verve that they had struggled to find under Dyche this season. Burnley piled the pressure back on Everton in the Premier League relegation battle with a 2-0 win over Southampton on Thursday, moving them within a point of Frank Lampard's side.

Roberts’ first Burnley goal was a beauty as he cut inside on his left and bent the ball beyond the reach of Forster. There were no chants for Dyche until the 87th minute, no anger directed at Pace in the directors’ box, just fulsome backing for the team. There has been no tactical revolution under Jackson but the Clarets were playing like they had received and understood the "jolt" he described Dyche’s sacking as providing.

Burnley moved to within a point of Everton after Connor Roberts and Nathan Collins sealed a 2-0 victory against Southampton.

In the final moments there were chants from the stands of “There’s only one Sean Dyche” for their departed manager. The opener ignited an aggression inside Burnley who saw their opportunity to attack a Southampton side lacking thrust. Space was given to a man whose most recent club goal came almost a year ago, allowing him to move the ball on to his left foot and perfectly curl a shot round Fraser Forster into the corner to make everyone inside Turf Moor forget their troubles. The resulting James Ward-Prowse corner was attacked by an unmarked Oriol Romeu, who headed wide from six yards to provide a much-needed wake-up to Burnley. The victory leaves them one point behind Everton and safety having played a game more, but with a marginally better goal difference. Southampton could not cope with the liberated hosts, who gave themselves hope once again of beating the drop.

Clarets breathed new life into battle against relegation with victory over Southampton.

Its starting to get very tight towards the bottom of the Premier League table again, and that might make for a fascinating relegation run-in.

Burnley play before Everton each week too, meaning they have a chance to really crank up the pressure even more. They have three very tough fixtures to come, followed by three that look quite kind on paper. With a Merseyside Derby to prepare for against Liverpool at Anfield, the last thing Everton will have wanted to see was Burnley closing the gap between them to just one point. Leeds are in good form right now with three wins and a draw in their last four matches, but if they lose at Crystal Palace on Monday things might start to look a lot more nervy. From here you'd have to say that Villa can only be architects of their own downfall. The situation: Aston Villa should be feeling pretty safe right now.

Burnley's caretaker manager Mike Jackson has warned his side has what it takes to survive the drop and maintain their Premier League status.

Again, they've gone and delivered that, we're just there to help them. Everton are locked in a relegation fight and Burnley now sit just one point behind them in the table following their 2-0 win over Southampton on Thursday night. The relegation fight, though, is closer than ever and things don't get any easier for Everton with a trip to Anfield on the horizon.

A lot of the boys just wanted to get out there tonight and play with a smile on their face, play with a little bit of freedom. We have a task on hand and we have to prepare again and just look at the next game. “We played some nice stuff and I think we were well worth the win. It doesn’t matter who’s there backing us, we have to back each other and the togetherness showed that tonight. I can’t affect Everton to lose or anybody else to lose so we have to concentrate on ourselves really. You can hear it in the fans, you can hear it in the stands.

The caretaker manager has helped the Clarets take four points from two games since the sacking of Sean Dyche.

“I think it comes from confidence,” Jackson said of Burnley’s verve. “There’s confidence from the West Ham game (a 1-1 draw on Sunday). All of a sudden you start feeling better about yourself. We’re in tomorrow for a recovery day and a work day for the lads who didn’t play. We’re just happy to be helping the club and helping the players perform.” “We’re here to guide them, the staff have all mucked in, everyone has played their part. If the chairman asks us again for the game on Sunday we’ll do that.

We were far away from deserving something," said the Austrian. "I will probably speak to the chairman and he will let me know if I am needed for next game.
