Sam Allardyce is regarded as favourite for the manager's job at Burnley after Sean Dyche's dismissal.

The Daily Mail says Burnley's run-in includes home matches against Southampton, Wolves, Aston Villa and Newcastle as well as trips to West Ham, Watford, Tottenham and Villa.

The early contenders for the job include Sam Allardyce, Slaven Bilic, Wayne Rooney, Chris Wilder and former Burnley captain Michael Duff, now in charge at Cheltenham Town.

Allardyce emerged as an early favourite due to his reputation as a survival specialist but it is understood that he has reservations about taking the job at Turf Moor.

Dyche, 50, who in September had signed a new deal until 2025, will be paid a year's compensation on his £75,000-a-week contract.

His No 2 Ian Woan, first-team coach Steve Stone and goalkeeping coach Billy Mercer have also left Turf Moor.
