Burnley fullback Trippier hasn't toned down style for Premier League

Burnley fullback Kieran Trippier says he hasn't altered his game since entering the Premier League.

Trippier insists he has not been told to take a step back, and is starting to get used to the demands placed on full backs in the Premier League.

"This year you've got to pick and choose the right times because of the quality of the wingers that I'm playing against," he told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

"In the Championship wingers wouldn't track me as much so I'm still learning. I'm coming up to my fifth game now. People should see a lot more of me going forward.

"We want to be tight at the back. I want to make sure the back is locked off first then I'll pick and choose my moments when I go forward this year."
