Prior to this weekend’s match up at Turf Moor, Burnley manager Sean Dyche has praised Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and claimed that the criticism he receives is unwarranted.

Speaking ahead of the Premier League clash tomorrow Dyche had the following to say about the current Arsenal side,

“They’re a fine side, who keep progressing despite what people say.”

He also suggested that the constant questioning of Wenger and his tactics has been unwarranted,

“Arsene seems to get questioned, I don’t know why, I think the job he’s done is terrific.”

Dyche also noted Wenger as one of the prominent role models for all young managers who can benefit from what he has done for the game and the way in which he manages his side.

“Of course, I’m aware fans would like to have won more trophies in recent years but, as a young manager aspiring to progress in the game, I look at people like him thinking ‘you haven’t done badly if you have a career like his’.”

Despite the Burnley boss’ kind words it is important that Wenger and the team remain focused on the job at hand this weekend, three points and no less are what is required if the Gunners want to push Chelsea right to the last hurdle. Arsenal have been in fine form of late and will be looking to add another win to the streak they are currently on. The Gunners’ cause will be boosted by the return of Wilshere, Arteta, Debuchy and Diaby who could still play an important part in the Premier League and FA cup run in.
