The Burnley boss cannot believe that some Gunners fans were calling for Arsene Wenger to be sacked . 'Arsene seems to get questioned, I don't know why, I think the job he's done is terrific.

Dyche hopes Matt Taylor (Achilles), Ross Wallace (knee) and Steven Reid (calf) will be fit for the visit of the Gunners, who have won their last seven games in all competitions.
