Your support makes all the difference.After Tottenham's chances of catching Chelsea were landed a serious blow at Anfield, Antonio Conte's men now have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table as they travel to Burnley.
But victory is far from a given. Sean Dyche's men have developed an impervious reputation at home, winning 28 out of their current 29 Premier League points at Turf Moor.
Although Chelsea will be tipped as favourites to win, a shock result against the Clarets isn't beyond the realms of possibility today.
After that, Swansea and Leicester go head to head at the bottom of the league as they continue to fight for survival.
The Foxes have been dragged to the foot of the table following a miserable run of form that has seen them failure to win in league this new year.
As for the Swans, Paul Clement's men have enjoyed something of a resurgence in recent weeks but remain dangerously close to the relegation zone with just one point separating them from the bottom three.

Good morning and welcome to The Independent's coverage of today's Premier League football. Just the two fixtures this afternoon, with Chelsea travelling to Burnley while Swansea taking on fellow survival fighters Leicester later on in the day.
Kick-off times:
- Burnley vs Chelsea - 1.30pm
- Swansea vs Leicester - 4.00pm
Up first, Chelsea travel to Turf Moor in the hope of extending their lead to 12 points at the top of the pile. With Spurs dropping valuable points against Liverpool, this could be The Blues chance to seal the deal. However, it will be far from a walk in the park against a Burnley side with a formidable home record this season.
Team news coming shortly...
With Burnley missing three first-team midfielders, this has made for Ashley Westwood and Robbie Brady to make their first Burnley starts.
Former Aston Villa midfielder Westwood said he felt like Sean Dyche 'rescued' him from life at Villa Park.
The pressure is on for the two new starters today against a tough opposition.
