James Tarkowski is revelling in his defensive partnership with Ben Mee as the two continue to provide a bedrock for the Clarets’ climb up the table.
The duo played a key role as Burnley made it back-to-back home victories with Saturday’s 1-0 win over Everton.
The centre-back pairing shared in a third clean sheet in four Premier League games at Turf Moor this season as goalkeeper Nick Pope completed another shut-out.
And while neither Tarkowski or the uncapped Ben Mee have joined Pope on England duty this week, their contribution for the Clarets is beyond debate.
