The Clarets have been in the bottom three all season but have taken 10 points from their last seven games after Saturday바카라s 4-1 win at relegation rivals Sheffield United.

Muric, who made a string of outstanding saves at Bramall Lane to help secure Vincent Kompany바카라s side their second league win of the year, said: 바카라I think we as a team you can see after every game the energy바카라s back.

바카라We believe in it every day, it바카라s not just saying it. Everyone looks like we believe in it. We had some good games in the previous games and I think we바카라ll be good. We바카라re going to do it I think.바카라

Burnley climbed to within three points of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest before their game on Sunday at fellow strugglers Everton.

Muric made crucial saves to deny Oli McBurnie and Ben Brereton Diaz before Jacob Bruun Larsen and Lorenz Assignon gave the Clarets a barely-deserved 2-0 half-time lead.

Gus Hamer pulled one back for the Blades but Lyle Foster and Johann Berg Gudmundsson added further goals for the visitors.

Muric also made a brilliant flying save to keep out James McAtee바카라s curling effort and when asked about his performance, the Kosovo keeper said: 바카라Yes, it바카라s my job.

바카라Today it went well and I바카라m happy that I could save some goals and we could take the win.바카라

Blades boss Chris Wilder conceded after the game that his side바카라s season was over as they remain cast adrift at the bottom with five games to go.

Home goalkeeper Ivo Grbic turned in another unconvincing display as he was beaten too easily by Burnley바카라s first two scruffy goals and Wilder said he was considering taking him out of the firing line.

The Croatia international was drafted in during the January transfer window after a series of mistakes from previous number one Wes Foderingham earlier in the season.

Wilder said: 바카라Obviously we made a decision and it was an opportunity to bring (Grbic) in. There was a reason we brought him in, we weren바카라t comfortable in that position.

바카라Let바카라s get it right, I don바카라t think anyone was comfortable in that position. So everyone was clamouring and we thought it was the right thing to do, but obviously it바카라s not been a great start for the big man.

바카라Goals are going in too easily, I don바카라t think there바카라s much protection in front of him from a defensive point of view.바카라

Asked if Grbic could be dropped for Wednesday바카라s game at Manchester Unmited, Wilder added: 바카라Well, we바카라ll make a decision over the weekend. It바카라s something we talk non-stop about, positions and how we want to set up.바카라
