Following the medical emergency, we've heard referee Anthony Taylor spoke to both managers and they all agreed the kick-off should be put back by half an hour.

Let's hope the person affected makes a speedy recovery.

Burnley have tweeted about the delay, saying neither team or their staff are affected...

Burnley have had injuries to key players. Last season they won 1-0 on 12 occasions, so it's not like they're a team who can score and score and score. They are a team that wear other sides down but they are struggling to get the goals.

It's been a miserable couple of months for Burnley, having not won a match since the end of September.

But, after three straight defeats where they conceded 13 goals, Sean Dyche's side shored things up with a goalless draw at Leicester before the international break.

"I thought the structure of the side was better. I thought it looked more like what we look like on a consistent level of performance," he says.

"There's still more to come.

"We know that still needs adjusting but, for the last number of weeks, we are showing signs of getting back to where we want to be.

"We know we still need to do more on the offensive side."

I doubt Rafa Benitez is a fan of the Boomtown Rats but he and Newcastle United fans have every reason to say 'I don't like Mondays'., externalTheir last 12 Premier League Monday games have all been away, and only a victory at Stoke has stopped a dirty dozen of defeats.

Newcastle were buoyed by back-to-back wins before the international hiatus, while Sean Dyche's Burnley earned an encouraging point at Leicester.

I was at the King Power Stadium that emotional afternoon and Burnley were back to their resolute best, particularly in the second half.

Do not be surprised if it's a safety-first message from both camps as they aim to haul themselves away from trouble. I believe both will survive but the nature of their slow starts means it might take time.

Rafa Benitez doesn't get bogged down with bad omens. Which is just as well seeing as Newcastle have not won any of their past 10 games on a Monday night...

“We will score in this one and we will win, and that’s it. We will change the stats," Benitez said.

“Maybe in the past they were difficult teams to play against. We will do well.

“I don’t worry about it. I’ve told you – you change the manager, you change the players, you change the environment, you change the league, you change everything. The record is fine, but it doesn’t matter."

It's very congested down at the bottom.

If Fulham can sort out their defence they will be OK because they score goals. Newcastle and Bunrley have struggled to score, as have Huddersfield and Southampton. For all those teams, they have to come up with something. Fulham have positivity because they've made a change but all the other teams down there - what can they change? That is why owners will start to get a bit jittery.

The bottom end of the Premier League is more congested than a rush-hour Northern Rail train.

Four points split the bottom seven teams, with both Burnley and Newcastle looking to give themselves breathing space with a win tonight.

Rafael Benitez is also forced to a single change for Newcastle.

Wales left-back Paul Dummett was injured on international duty, meaning Ciaran Clark - a centre-back by trade - fills in.

Burnley

Burnley make one change from the goalless draw at Leicester before the international break.

Republic of Ireland winger Robbie Brady makes only his second start of the season for the Clarets.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson, who was replaced by Brady at the King Power Stadium, is sidelined.

Centre-back Ben Gibson is on the bench for the first time since August after recovering from a couple of hernia surgeries.
