Sean Dyche says there is no added pressure for Burnley to win at Turf Moor as they continue to wait for their first away win of the season.
The Clarets go into this weekend's home fixture against Everton on the back of consecutive defeats in the Premier League following a controversial last minute loss to Arsenal and a 3-1 reverse at Southampton.
Burnley are 14th in the Premier League ahead of the visit of Ronald Koeman's side and are yet to pick up a point away from home but Dyche says the only pressure is what they put on themselves.
"I think there is our own pressure on us, regardless, home or away. I think there is a reality to what we are and the market we are in, both from our own fans from the outside view," the Burnley boss said.
"I think people have been very fair with that, they know what we are, they know we haven't got the spending power et cetera of others, but they also know we are a group who give everything to the cause.

"Away, I don't think it's been as evident. We've had three games live on Sky in the last three games and done very well, I thought, on the Monday against Watford, fully deserved the win. We all know what happened against Arsenal, we at least deserved a point, out of our control what happened.
"And Southampton, really, was the first time this season we have really come away from our performance level, I think."
Dyche believes his side should expect an off-day sometimes but says they must learn from those performances to move forward throughout the season.
"Realistically, for a team like us who are still learning about the Premier League, or once again trying to learn about the Premier League, some of our players experienced it two years ago, of course, it's not impossible but it is likely that you do have the odd bump in the road and you have got to make sure it is just a bump in the road," he said.
"I'm on about performance levels now, still can't guarantee a result - not many can in the Premier League.
"But I think your performance levels over time earn you results and we came away from that against Southampton so we are more interested in putting that right and we'll see what that brings us."
