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.

Chelsea continue to control the tempo of the game, but Burnley still look lethal on the counter attack. The Clarets are showing tremendous courage to battle with such passion as this game progresses. It remains to be anyone's game. Tackles are beginning to fly in and tempers are beginning to flare.

Willian tries to switch the play to Pedro, but Lowton makes himself known and confidently heads the ball back into the hands of Heaton. It's encouraging stuff at the back from Burnley. 

Substitution: Gray is replaced by Vokes.

Willian delivers another ball into the box and yet again, Keane comes out on top and clears the danger. He's been an absolute rock at the back today for The Clarets.

Fabregas finds Pedro inside of the box, but his bid to double his tally flew high over the bar. The clock is ticking for the table toppers.

87 MINS

Substitution: Pedro is replaced by Batshuayi.

Yellow card: Barton crashes into Willian and picks up a booking for his efforts. It's a horrendously timed challenge.

90(+2) MINS

The tempo is electric here at Turf Moor, but neither side are able to find the final product to gain the late advantage. 

Burnley are doing everything that they can to clear their lines at the back and deny Chelsea any time on possession.
