Dyche believes Nick Pope boosted his World Cup chances. With the World Cup two months away, Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope will have impressed England boss Gareth Southgate. 

 The 28-year-old is in the running for the Premier League’s Golden Glove award after keeping 14 clean sheets this campaign, further enhancing his prospects of becoming a future England number one.

He made fine saves in each half from Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy as the Clarets defeated Leicester City 2-1 at Turf Moor to strengthen their grip on seventh place in the Premier League.

Speaking at his press conference ahead of Wednesday’s visit of Wolves, the Burnley boss said: “I’ve always said I’ve never got in the way of Gareth’s choosing of the side. I get on well with Gareth when I speak to him.

“Would I offer the obvious that he (Pope) is playing very well? Yes.

“Obviously Pope’s got some accolades and rightly so. Some by just doing the basics very well, which he did against Sheffield United, and then some making really big saves like he did on Saturday.”

“Nothing but positives from me for what they try to achieve and how they go about it.”

Burnley is enjoying a good run of form, recording three wins and two draws in their last five games.
