    Burnley are absolutely flying - but all is not well in the opposite dugout.

    This is Stoke City’s lowest-ever points tally after 16 games of a Premier League season (16 points) and they have conceded more goals this season (35) than ever before at this stage of a Premier League campaign.

    It's not really a blip either - The Potters have won just 41 points from their last 40 Premier League matches under Mark Hughes (W10 D11 L19).

    West Ham 1-0 Chelsea - 'Chelsea played tired' - Conte

    The cycle of title-slump-title-slump looks like carrying on at Chelsea, with manager Antonio Conte saying his side are out of the Premier League title race after losing to West Ham.

    The champions suffered a fourth defeat of the season on Saturday and are now 14 points behind leaders Manchester City.

    Conte said: "If you want to stay in the race you need continuity in results. This is not our case. If you lose four games in 16 you're not in the race."

    Christian Benteke

    He’s eaten humble pie and apologised to the squad at the training ground, now Christian Benteke owes his team-mates a performance after Saturday’s penalty shambles. His stats don’t make pretty reading,

    Last goal? 14 May.

    The good news? That goal was against a Marco Silva team - Hull City.

    He’s certainly due one. Will he play?!

    His penalty at the weekend may well be the lowlight of his season - of any season - and Christian Benteke has failed to score in the Premier League this season despite attempting 24 shots in 852 minutes.

    Overall, Benteke’s goalless streak in the Premier League now stands at 12 games – his longest ever run in the competition without a goal.

    Due one? I'll say.

    Can you do it on a cold Tuesday night in Burnley?

    Stoke go to Peter Crouch as Mark Hughes aims to revive his side's form. Crouchy starts up front, and Geoff Cameron and Ramadan Sobhi also come in.

    Burnley, of course, are unchanged.

    If you've been to any games at Huddersfield in the last few years you'll know the atmosphere is top class...

    The John Smith’s Stadium could become the 50th ground at which Chelsea have won a Premier League game – making them the fourth club to reach that figure (Liverpool 53, Arsenal and Manchester United 50).

    Yorkshire puddings at Huddersfield

    Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire...

    When in Yorkshire the pudding comes out, and the ale sausages, and the winter greens. There was an absolute stampede in the press room when the trolley arrived! Proper wholesome food under the lights.

    Burnley, if you didn't know, actually reached the quarter finals of the European Cup back in 1961.

    Anyone reading who was there?!

    10 Premier League sides have competed in the Champions League since 1992-3, with Leicester the last new boys to join the club.

    Three teams have managed just one season in the cup - but could Burnley make it in?

    Remember when Burnley's rivals Blackburn were in the Champions League?

    It would be a truly remarkable story. But we are nearly halfway through the season. This is not just a 'good start' any more is it?

    A win tonight and Burnley will go fourth in the Premier League.

    Manchester City's utter dominance of the competition to date must make them team of the season so far, but I tell you what Sean Dyche's lot are a close second.

    They rolled out the blue carpet and brass trumpets when Manchester United came to town. Tonight it’s the turn of Chelsea to visit this part of West Yorkshire as Huddersfield look to build on what was a very strong performance against Brighton.

    In his programme notes manager David Wagner says he believes his side will have to ‘overperform’ if they’re to get a positive result tonight.

    There are three games tonight and a massive SEVEN tomorrow night.

    Yep, three points tonight would take Crystal Palace all the way up to 17th, pushing West Brom into the drop zone. They play at Anfield tomorrow night.

    Could be a big one...

    When Roy Hodgson took charge at Crystal Palace three months ago today they were pointless, and goalless, after four matches.

    Roy has gone five games unbeaten on the quiet and Palace can climb out of the bottom three for the first time all season with a win at home to Watford tonight.

    Are Palace in a relegation fight? Of course.

    But it's a fight they may well yet win. Can they get a psychological boost this evening?
