Burnley vs Everton
Good afternoon and welcome to a bitterly cold Burrrrnley - I'll get my coat, actually that wouldn't be a bad shout, it's -1!
The 12:30 kick off will go ahead despite snow shutting down almost everything in the last week, and you can follow all the build up to the early Premier League kick off right here, starting with team news coming up in around 15 minutes.
Team News
James Tarkowski is recalled to the side with Kevin Long dropping to the bench. Scott Arfield doesn't make the matchday squad but Chris Wood is fit again to be named on the bench.
Sam Allardyce starts January signing Cenk Tosun up front alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Seamus Coleman returns to the side and Wayne Rooney is dropped to the bench.
"We are in a very good position"
Sam Allardyce batted away 'surprising' speculation over his future and said he will remain for as long as he is winning football matches.
"I am here as long as I win football matches, and if you don't win football matches it doesn't matter how long your contract is.
"At the moment we are in a very good position. I am slightly surprised about the situation but you can look at the two differences between us: good at home and not good enough away from home."
Seventh but out of form
Burnley's electric start to the Premier League raised eyebrows and expectations at Turf Moor. However, Sean Dyche's side have not won a game since 12th December 2017. So despite holding Manchester United and Manchester City to draws, 142 days have passed since Burnley fans have seen their side win.
