Jones convinced Burnley will improve

Burnley midfielder David Jones is confident the team will continue to adapt to life back in the Premier League.

The Clarets have been beaten 3-1 by Chelsea and 1-0 by Swansea City in their opening two fixtures this season but the Welsh midfielder is not too concerned about their difficult return to England's top flight.

"I think there was more belief in the second half (against Swansea)," Jones told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"We seemed to move the ball quickly and it looked as if we had more space and they couldn't cope with our shape and the way we shifted the ball.

"It was a good showing in the second half and something to definitely build on in the next game."

Burnley next meet Sheffield Wednesday in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday before hosting Manchester United at Turf Moor in the league on Saturday.
