Burnley 1-0 Sheff Utd
Burnley
Burnley boss Sean Dyche: "Working hard without the ball has seen us through a tough game. We were playing against a Sheffield United side who I think are a good side, talk about a team that is fighting, they are fighting and put us under pressure in the second half.
"We thought it would be a tight game because you look at their scorelines they are tight. There were not many chances overall but it was the quality of chances, that is important for us. We didn't take them but we scored from the set piece and the way we saw the game out I thought we were outstanding.
"We believe in the set piece work we do here. We simplify it for the players and put the onus on them to attack the ball.
"Charlie Taylor is a hamstring injury. We will wait and see but we are stretched again. Josh Benson came on wide and did a real shift for the team. We are stretched and we can only hope these injuries stop coming and we can get everyone fit.
"If the right players at the right price come along, that has always been the model of the club. January is tough anyway."
