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.

The Blues win a free kick just outside of the penalty area for a foul on Costa. Luiz stands over the set piece, which is enough to make any goalkeeper quake in their boots. However, it's an anticlimactic strike that dribbles easily into the path of Heaton.
15 MINS
Barton crashes into Hazard and Chelsea win a free kick. In expected fashion, The Clarets lad voices his frustration about the decision. With Hazard's ability and sublime footwork, he will invite these cheap fouls from his opponent all day long.

Chelsea are oozing confidence as they progress up the field, but they are lacking the final product which is denying them their second of the afternoon. Kante delivers the final ball into the box, but it's dealt with by Keane at the back.
Luiz looks although he really is struggling with his knee. Could we see an early exit for the Brazilian?
19 MINS
Burnley show a glimpse of brilliance going forward. Boyd delivers the ball into the path of Barnes with a clever back-heel, but the strikers attempt on goal flies way over the target. He should have tested Courtois from there, but nonetheless it's encouraging to see from The Clarets.
22 MINS
Matic clips Barton on the edge of the box and Burnley are awarded a free-kick on the edge of the area. They need to be testing Courtois from here.

BURNLEY 1 - 1 CHELSEA
Brady announces himself a Burnley superstar in spectacular fashion from the set piece. He drives the free kick into the top corner with a tremendous left-footed strike. Courtois is left helpless between the sticks.
It's all level here at Turf Moor thanks to that moment of magic from the Irishman.
Game on!

Burnley have inherited the momentum here at Turf Moor, as they prove their capability in front of their home fans. With the third best home record in the league, it would be wrong to cancel them out at any stage of this fixture.
Azpilicueta goes to ground holding his face following a collision with Barnes. The Clarets lads escapes lightly without a booking.
29 MINS
The ball goes over the top to Gray, who finds himself head-on with a struggling Luiz. He delivers a delightful ball across the face of goal, but it fails to find a Burnley shirt.
