Burnley boss Sean Dyche insists their FA Cup exit won't hurt their Premier League campaign.
A largely second-string line-up succumbed to a 2-0 defeat on a bitterly cold night at Turf Moor but Dyche was unapologetic about making so many changes, even though his side are eight points clear of the bottom three.
Dyche said, "The focus of the Premier League is always there and the FA Cup, in my honest view, doesn't reach the level of our thoughts about the Premier League. It's purely a business thing.
“The Premier League will definitely be the viewpoint; it was before this game and will be after this game, whether we won or lost."
On debutant Anthony Driscoll-Glennon, Dyche was impressed.
“I thought he did terrific because it's not easy," Dyche said. “We were unsure how quickly we could get that information into him, so I thought he did nicely because that situation is not easy."
