Burnley are back on the road as they continue their busy Championship schedule against Alex Neil’s Stoke City.

Vincent Kompany’s men are three points clear at the top of the table following Tuesday night’s 3-0 win against Birmingham at Turf Moor.

The Clarets have lost just two league matches this season and now have an 11-point cushion over third-place Blackburn.

Meanwhile, Stoke currently sit in 17th place and were held to a 2-2 draw against Rotherham in their last outing. Tyrese Campbell was on target against the Millers as well as a Lee Peltier own goal.

When and where is the game being played?

The fixture takes place at the bet365 Stadium on Friday, December 30 (7.45pm).

The points were shared when the sides met at Turf Moor back in October, with Harry Clarke cancelling out Connor Roberts’ opener.

Burnley’s last win in the fixture came in December 2017, with Ashley Barnes scoring a dramatic late winner which briefly saw the Clarets climb into the Premier League top four.

The Turf Moor club are unbeaten in the last four meetings between the sides, with their last defeat coming in December 2016 after first-half goals from Jonathan Walters and Marc Muniesa.
