'There's no meeting planned with the chairman': Caretaker boss Mike Jackson does not know if he will be in charge for next game despite reviving Burnley's hopes of Premier League survival since sacking of Sean Dyche

Burnley caretaker manager Mike Jackson admitted he did not know if he would take charge of Sunday's Premier League match against Wolves after guiding the Clarets to a crucial 2-0 win over Southampton on Thursday night.

First-half goals from defenders Connor Roberts and Nathan Collins lifted Burnley to within a point of 17th-placed Everton, albeit having played a game more, and Sunday's match gives the Clarets a chance to climb out of the bottom three, even if only for a couple of hours before the Toffees face Liverpool.

Jackson and an interim coaching staff that includes injured captain Ben Mee have taken four points from two games since the surprise sacking of Sean Dyche last Friday, but continue to work day-to-day as chairman Alan Pace seeks a permanent successor.
