BURNLEY, England (Reuters) - Burnley's unlikely rise to fourth place in the Premier League is this season's 'Cinderella' story but the stereotype of the mill town Lancashire club led by a gruff 'old-school' manager disguises the very effective method behind their rise.

The 1-0 win over Stoke City on Tuesday propelled Burnley into the Champions League places, at least until Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur play on Wednesday and led Dyche to encourage the club's fans to "dream".
