Sean Dyche does not anticipate seeing a big drop-off in Burnley's performance if he shuffles his pack for the visit of Leeds in the Carabao Cup.
The Clarets have won three of their six games this term and have lost just once despite visiting Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool as well as local Lancashire rivals Blackburn in the previous round of the cup.
Dyche made eight changes at Ewood Park, though still included four internationals in his XI and that 2-0 success underlined the strength in depth he believes he now has at Turf Moor.
"I do believe in the group," he said.
"I think there are very, very fine margins between who's playing and who's not. Currently, the team are doing a good job overall and the team that played in the cup did a fantastic job, I thought they were terrific on the night.
"There's a fair chance we make changes. I was questioned about the changes against Blackburn, heavily in some quarters, and yet they gave a very, very good performance. I believe in the players wholeheartedly.
Ex-Leeds men Charlie Taylor and Chris Wood could both face their former club in a competition that holds fond memories for Dyche from his playing days.
"You used to win a telly for being man of the match from (sponsor) Rumbelows," he said.
"When you're at Chesterfield and you're earning what you're earning and you win a telly, it's a fantastic moment. I actually gave it to my mum and dad. It was a very nice moment."
Burnley only won seven points away from home in the whole of last season - but they've got five points from three games already this campaign.
The 1-1 draw at Anfield on Saturday was their latest impressive result, and Sean Dyche believes they have stepped up a level.
He said: "Generally we didn't do that great away last season but I think the performances were better than the points we got and I think that is the case again this season and we have earned the points we have got.
"I thought our defending was resolute at the weekend, I thought the organisation was very good we and we were still a threat when we needed to be. I thought we got a good a point and over the piece a valid point."
