Johann Berg Gudmundson says Burnley have compiled their best squad since he joined the club in 2016.

The Clarets have collected three points from their opening two games, which included pushing Arsenal all the way at the Emirates in a 2-1 defeat last weekend.

"It is a strong squad and there's a lot of competition to make it in to the 11. That can only be a good thing because it makes it tougher to get in to those positions," said Gudmundsson.

"To get in to the first 11 you have to train well and play well. That's football, there's always going to be competition in football, but it's a good thing.

"It's healthy competition. Training is at a really high standard and the games are as well. We'll just have to keep going and play with the same attitude as we have done in the first two games.

"I think it's the strongest squad yet. It's pretty much the same core since I've been here, we've just added more quality players to it.

"It looks really good. It's only been two games, but it's been a really positive two games."
