Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard says Burnley boss Sean Dyche deserves great credit for this season's work.

City go to Turf Moor this weekend.

Lampard told City's website, "Whatever happens at the end of the season, Sean Dyche will come out with huge credit because to hardly spend any money on a team who has just come up with the way they've played and fought deserves recognition.

"I've never met Sean - he was at Watford and our paths never crossed for some reason but I have a lot of respect for him because of the way he's handled himself this season.

"I think they can definitely stay up - there are a big group of clubs around them and their desire is second to none and we've all heard the stories about them running more miles than anyone else this season during games.

"They're a very strong unit - they showed that earlier in the season when they came from 2-0 down to earn a draw with us and it won't be for the want of trying if they don't stay up - they've got as good a chance of anyone, though."
