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.

Sigurdsson goes for goal from the edge of the box, but the left-footed strike flies just wide of the post. Simpson done well to close him down and show him the outside there.

Yellow card: Huth receives a card for sliding into a challenge with Carroll, with studs showing.

GOAL
SWANSEA 1 - 0 LEICESTER
Mawson rattles the net with a tremendous right-footed volley from inside of the area to break the deadlock. It's a sensational finish that any striker would be proud of. The home side have the advantage over Ranieri's men.
Game on.
40 MINS
Yellow card: Cork is booked for a horrifically late challenge on Mahrez. There cannot be any complaints there from the Swansea man.
43 MINS
Leicester desperately hunt for an equaliser prior to the interval, but their efforts remain unrewarded so far.
Ranieri's men have lacked any sort of goal threat so far this half, with five attempts but no real tests for Fabianski. It's clear to see why they have not scored yet in 2017 in this campaign.

GOAL
SWANSEA 2 - 0 LEICESTER
Olsson has scored his first ever goal for The Swans, and what a strike it is. Sigurdsson sends the ball into the path of the 28-year-old, who drives the strike past Schmeichel at the near post. He's doubled their tally and made the second half a daunting prospect for Leicester.
HALF TIME
Leicester head into the interval chasing a two goal deficit,with goals from Mawson and Olsson. Ranieri's men lacked any menace moving forward and looked unlikely to beat Fabianski throughout. The Swans showed snippets of excellence going forward, but there is the feeling that they have plenty more in the tank.
It's going to be a tough second half if Ranieri does not make any changes during the interval.
The second half is certainly going to be exciting. Stay tuned.
