Burnley boss Sean Dyche believes that a victory from his side in their clash against West Ham United will shake up the relegation battle in the Premier League.

The Clarets have failed to win their last five matches in the top flight to leave them five points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table.

However, Dyche is upbeat that the situation can change if his side can claim three points when they travel to Upton Park to take on the Hammers.

Dyche told the club's official website: "I think the reality is that a tough task has just got tougher. We've been under no illusions all season. We've been honest with what we are and what we want to achieve but I think we've looked beyond the outside noise of what we're trying to do.

"I don't think that has changed. We all know that three points in this division can radically change the look, the perception and the feel of the league, particularly at the top and bottom end.

"We look to gain those three points this weekend and see how that shakes the pack up. With four games to go, there is no point in worrying about it, you just have to go out and affect it."

Burnley face West Ham in their match later today.
