What They're Saying
Burnley manager Sean Dyche (via Express): "I think it's [locker room fights] a natural occurrence when you've got highly talented, highly motivated people in a working environment that's very challenging where everyone wants a shirt and everyone wants to play."
Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart (via Daily Star): "Last week we played Leicester, who are bottom of the league, and had to fight for a 2-0 and it will be the same at Burnley. That is just how it is in the Premier League, and as soon as you let that get to you, it will crush you."
