Everton boss Roberto Martinez has paid tribute to the work of Burnley manager Sean Dyche.

The Clarets head to Goodison Park having beaten Manchester City, drawn against Tottenham and narrowly defeated by Arsenal in the last month.

"Sean has been an incredible leader and has set very good direction for his team," said Martinez.

"When you get into a new league you sometimes don't get positive results after a successful season in the Championship and you start having doubts and wanting to change week after week."
