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.

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.

FULL TIME
BURNLEY 1 - 1 CHELSEA
It's all level at the final whistle, with the second half remaining goalless. An early goal from Pedro opened the scoring, only to be levelled out by a sublime set piece strike from Brady. Conte's men looked the stronger of the two sides in the latter stages of the game, but Burnley showed indomitable spirit to battle until the 90th minute. It was a great display from a neutral point of view, with both sides giving it their all and working relentlessly for the point.
Up next, Swansea host a struggling Leicester City as the two sides battle at the bottom of the pile. It's all on the line for both clubs at the Liberty Stadium.
Live updates, team news and minute-by-minute coverage of all of the action coming shortly...
This is a huge clash for two clubs at the bottom end of the table, with just goal difference separating the two sides. Leicester remain the only side in the league to not score in 2017, so could today be the day for Ranieri's men to break this deadly curse?
Leicester have won the last four consecutive Premier League games against Swansea, so the odds stand in the 2015/16 Champions.
Not long until kick-off now...
After loosing 3-0 last weekend to Manchester United, Ranieri has made a few tactical tweaks in preparation for this clash.
WE ARE OFF!
Leicester kick off to get the first half underway. Game on!
