Mike Jackson has fired a warning to relegation rivals Everton by insisting that his Burnley players have come together in an all out assault on staying in the Premier League.
The Clarets sit in the drop zone, just a point behind Frank Lampard's side - who have a game in hand on their Lancashire rivals - but under the stewardship of interim boss Jackson, Burnley have earned four points out of their last six with a credible draw against West Ham United before producing an impressive 2-0 victory against Southampton.
And with Everton not facing title-chasing Liverpool until 4.30pm on Sunday, the Turf Moor outfit will have the opportunity to leap-frog the Toffees, if they can get at least a draw at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers a couple of hours beforehand. With two good results kicking off his interim period in the hot seat, former Tranmere Rovers manager Jackson feels his players have come together at just the right time.
