Dyche on striker debate, offside rulings and West Ham

He is hopeful Iliman Ndiaye and Abdoulaye Doucoure will be available for the trip to East London.

Meanwhile, Albania striker Armando Broja has not taken part in any contact training and "has just been getting a feel for the ball" again. Dyche added Broja "will need a games plan" before he is fully available for selection.

He said striker Beto "is chomping at the bit" to play and "the margins are getting tighter" between him and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

On how he will decide who gets to start: "Strikers are always looked at by their stats by fans but the management team tend to look behind that and at the overall picture. I am slightly more tolerant of a striker because it is a very tough role."

He said Calvert-Lewin "has had chances and not scored", conceding the 27-year-old's consistency is "up and down."

On Beto's goal being ruled out for offside against Southampton: "A toe is a toe. Where do you draw the line? You have to draw it somewhere. I’m not going to cry on that. If you’re offside, you’re offside."

However, Beto "has been effective" and is "learning all the time" when he does get game time.

On opponents West Ham: "They have a new manager trying to instil his thoughts. They’ve spent a lot of money over the last few seasons and like any manager, he’s trying to find a formula. They have a lot of good players."
