Your support makes all the difference.Burnley have had an impressive season so far and are nine points off the relegation zone. A win on Sunday could even see them rise as high as ninth, pending results elsewhere. Sean Dyche’s men have made Turf Moor a fortress this season and have the third best home record in the league, so he will be eager to continue that with another positive result against Chelsea.
Antonio Conte's side, meanwhile, are surging to the title with a nine-point gap between themselves and second place Tottenham. Three points on the weekend could see them extend that lead on the chasing pack and push them further toward their sixth league title.
What time is kick-off?
The match kicks off at 1.30pm on Sunday 12 February.
Where can I watch it?
The game will be televised live on Sky Sports 1.
Highlights will be shown on Match of the Day at 22:30pm on BBC One.
Live coverage...
It’s a big game for…
Antonio Conte: Not many teams have won at Turf Moor this season and with Tottenham playing a below par Liverpool side on Saturday there can be no excuses for dropped points.
Best stat…
Burnley thumped Chelsea 6-2 in their Division One clash in 1965.
Remember when…
German winger Andre Schurrle scored a terrific goal in Chelsea’s 3-1 opening day win at Burnley during the 2014/15 season.
Prediction...
Player to watch…
Eden Hazard: The Belgian scored with a fantastic solo effort against Arsenal last weekend, making him undoubtedly the man to keep your eyes on in this fixture. Hazard has played an integral part in Conte’s side this season and despite the record books suggesting this will be one of their toughest tests so far, he should shine.

10 MINS
Mahrez puts Vardy through, who finds Albrighton but his strike on goal is blocked by a sea of Swansea shirts. Mawson done well to chase the loose ball and clear the danger.
13 MINS
Gray puts Vardy through, in the hope of a returned ball but the striker's attempted pass is intercepted. Leicester look lethal on the break.
16 MINS
Mahrez feeds Simpson through, but he's well tracked by Carroll who charges through and intercepts the pass. Had the Swansea man not got there, that would have been a golden opportunity for the visitors.
Corner kick to Leicester.
19 MINS
Swansea continue to control the tempo and rhythm of the fixture, but Leicester look hungry and are chasing down possession from the front. It's all even out there so far.
Mahrez is not tracking back, which is giving Olsson a lot of space and giving Drinkwater a lot of work to do,
21 MINS
Vardy charges towards the Swansea goal and tries to go alone. He is closed down by a sea of white shirts and his attempt on goal is blocked. Nonetheless, it's positive stuff from the 30-year-old.
24 MINS
Leicester have had five attempts on goal so far, compared to a drab one attempt from the home side.
26 MINS
Yellow card: Fer receives a booking for his late sliding challenge into Vardy.
29 MINS
Fuchs gives away a free kick in a dangerous area for Leicester.
Sigurdsson delivers a tremendous ball into the box across the face of goal, but it's Drinkwater who comes out on top. Corner kick to The Foxes.
32 MINS
Olsson charges down the left, but his attempted through ball to Llorente goes missing. It's an under hit pass that goes straight into the feet of the Leicester defence.
