Burnley's Dyche will be Manager of the Year candidate - Liverpool's Rodgers

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is of the belief that Burnley manager Sean Dyche will be one of the Managers of the Year.

The 43-year old Clarets gaffer has the club sitting 18th on the table in their first season back in the Premier League and if he can keep them up, will be suitably rewarded according to his Reds counterpart Rodgers.

"We know they are a good side, we had a very close result over Christmas (1-0 at Turf Moor). Sean is very talented," said Rodgers ahead of Wednesday night's meeting at Anfield.

"They have gone away from home in big games and got good results.

"Burnley have given everything for the cause. Sean will be up there among the candidates for manager of the year."
