Dyche: Burnley duo should play for England

"They are certainly candidates to be spoken about. Corky as well, Ben Mee and Lowts are on the periphery, people mention their names," said Dyche after last Saturday's win over Everton. 

"I respect Gareth Southgate and speak to him, but I don't always speak to him about the players here. If he asks my opinion I'll give it but I do respect it's very difficult to choose the right players in a squad, whether it's a friendly or a tournament," he added.

In fact, England boss Southgate was at Turf Moor to witness Pope and Tarkowski play first hand. No clean sheet for the duo, but a determined comeback must have caught the gaffer's eye.
