Preamble by Daniel Harris
Chelsea are going to win the Premier League this season, easily; Burnley are going to stay in the Premier League this season, easily. So easily that really, we all knew itd work out this way all along, because how couldnt we? Were all astute, we all know our football, and when things are achieved as emphatically as this, well, any old idiot could see them coming.
Except that well, very few of us did - especially after six games, when Chelsea were in eighth place, eight points behind Manchester City and their 100 percent record, while Burnley were only as high as fourth-bottom because of freak over a complacent Liverpool. But we reckoned without the brilliance of Anthony Cotton and Seanio Dychio, both of whom have organised and motivated their teams to exceed the expectations even of those who correctly called the basic facts; rarely has managerial influence been so palpable.
Accordingly, we know what to expect this afternoon: Burnley will be stubborn, focused and enterprising; Chelsea will be stubborn, focused and enterprising; and whatever the final score, both will give it everything theyve got.
Only Chelsea (33), Spurs (32) and Arsenal (29) have more home #PL points than Burnley (28) this season- Premier League on Twitter

34 min Is there an age after which a baseball hat becomes undignified? Because Antonio Conte is wearing one, and though it sets off his eyes, I cant help but feel it needs to go in the bin, forthwith.- Daniel Harris
Yup, definitely love.

Almost an hour gone and Burnley boss Sean Dyche is barking out the instructions from the touchline, swallowing copious amounts of snow flakes in the process. Conte, for once, seems rather relaxed by comparison.

Hope Burnley can steal a win here. Keep the the race (slightly) alive.
