Match preview
Table-topping Burnley will be out to extend their advantage at the summit of the Championship table this Tuesday, December 27th, when they welcome Birmingham City to Turf Moor for the gameweek’s final fixture.
The Clarets, of course, have long established themselves as favourites to secure promotion back to the top-flight of English football, owing to a fine campaign to date.
Though they were ousted from the EFL Cup at the hands of Manchester United last week, on the league front, Burnley have been in top form for some time now.
All told, Vincent Kompany’s troops have racked up wins from seven of their last eight attempts.
This came after Duncan Watmore’s Boro opener was followed by a quickfire brace on the part of Manuel Benson, before Jonny Howson’s own goal settled the clash as a contest.
Burnley, in turn, will head into their next test in the knowledge that a victory will guide them, at the least, three points clear of the chasing pack in the Championship standings.

Hopeful of denting such aspirations, though, will be a Birmingham City outfit fresh off a morale-boosting return to winning ways of their own last time out.
The Blues, after establishing themselves amongst the contenders for a playoff promotion spot, had slipped into something of a slump prior to last weekend.
Just two points secured from an available nine saw John Eustace’s men dragged firmly back into the bottom half of the table.
In turn, a hard-fought triumph over Reading could not have come at a better time.
After Troy Deeney’s double was added to by Tahith Chong inside the first-half, a late Reading comeback effort proved thankless en route to a 3-2 result at St. Andrew’s.
Birmingham, in turn, will be eyeing a spot back inside the top half come the full-time whistle in Lancashire on Tuesday night.
We at 101, though, view as much as frankly unlikely, instead backing Burnley to get the job done once more courtesy of an eighth win from nine.
