Two clubs in opposite ends of the English League Championship table will do battle today in a match between Blackpool and Burnley. The second-division clash scheduled for 12:10 p.m. ET will be held at Bloomfield Road in Blackpool and can be live streamed here free.
Burnley enter today's match on the cusp of promotion to the English Premier League. The club is second in the Championship table, eight points ahead of Derby County. A victory over Blackpool would all but ensure the Clarets' return to the top flight. Manager Sean Dyche, however, is adamant about taking it one game at a time (h/t to the Burnley Express). "I think they've accepted the way we think is appropriate for them to train, to play, the tactical framework and I think they've run with it," Dyche said.
"They've taken ownership of it and they deliver it. They know the demands of it and how to work within it," he added.
"That's been really clear and I've enjoyed that from the group. I've always been really open minded and I try to keep the group open minded.
"That really goes back to the one game at a time."
