MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Conor McNamara: "Five years since Sean Dyche's appointment at Burnley, he's now the Premier League's third longest-serving manager.
"The best measure of Dyche's success is all the other jobs he is now being linked with.
"Consistency has been key. Only 17 players used in total this season is a Premier League low.
"An average net transfer spend of just £7m per year for each of his five seasons only adds to the allure.
"Mike Ashley has shown business acumen with the timing of putting Newcastle up for sale - a sense of fattening for market. This has already been the club's best start to a Premier League season since 2011-12. Newcastle finished fifth that year."

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Burnley manager Sean Dyche on speculation linking him with the vacant Everton job: "I mentioned last week different links with different clubs have come around - but they are others people's stories, not mine.
"They are out of my hands. In the short to medium term, I am going to continue working hard as I have done."
Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez: "I am really pleased with our position, but still I think we have to wait until January to be jumping because we are very happy."
