Sean Dyche, the Burnley manager, says they need to move on to their clash with Leicester following their disappointing loss to Tottenham. 
 
“Our mentality is strong. It always has been and it will need to be, but it’s not so long ago that we were right down there in the midst of it,” said Dyche.
 
“These are tough places to come and our season won’t be decided at places like this; it will be decided on how many points over all the game we play, so we move on to the next one.”
 
While Leicester are undefeated in their last eight away matches in the Premier League having registered three draws and five victories.
 
The Foxes secured a 2-1 win over Aston Villa in their last away match which was played on February 21.
