The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 2 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Burnley is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Huddersfield Town. Jay Rodriguez struck first for Burnley in the 28th minute on a feed from Ashley Westwood, then Josh Koroma got the equalizer for Huddersfield Town in the 74th minute on a feed from Sorba Thomas Finally they completed the comback in the 87th minute on a goal by Matthew Pearson to cap off a wild match.
