Eagles targets first-team place

Chris Eagles
Eagles has made 12 appearances for Burnley

Burnley midfielder Chris Eagles has revealed his desire to become a regular in Owen Coyle's starting line-up.

The 22-year-old, who joined the Clarets from Manchester United in July, scored his second goal for the club in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Coventry City.

"I just want to be his number one," Eagles told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"We've been doing well, which is why the team's stayed the same. I'm pleased for the team, but to set up one and score one is a bonus."

Burnley have now lost only once in their last 12 games following the victory at the Ricoh Arena.

And Eagles is keen for that run to continue at Charlton on Saturday.

"It is looking good," said the Hemel Hempstead-born player.

"There's no easy or difficult looking games. We've just got to keep doing what we're doing because, when we attack, teams are more scared of us than we are of them."
