Burnley players want caretaker manager Mike Jackson to remain in charge.

Since Jackson stepped in for the sacked Sean Dyche, the Clarets have clinched four points out of six against West Ham and Southampton

They will climb out of the relegation zone with a win or draw at Turf Moor (Everton play later in the day) and chairman Alan Pace may reflect that his search for a new boss won't be necessary until the summer, with club captain Ben Mee assisting Jackson.

"We can stay up with the current set-up, absolutely," said midfielder Josh Brownhill, who provided both assists in the midweek win against Southampton.

"The players are performing on the pitch and getting the points. If we continue doing that, it looks good on them and us. Why change it if it's not broken?

"I think he's got to continue until the end of the season. If we lose this weekend and they want to bring somebody in, there's only six games left and not a lot of time to change the manager and change the feel.

"At the minute it's going well. The lads are believing in it, getting points and doing well, so long may it continue. Long-term, if the biggest managers in the world like Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp wanted to come in, then I'd take that!"
