Clarets take on the Magpies at Turf
Burnley return to Turf Moor again on Tuesday night for the final time in 2025, as the Clarets host Newcastle United in the Premier League in the last fixture of the calendar year.
Scott Parker's men head into the clash with United following back-to-back draws against AFC Bournemouth and Everton, conceding just once.
The Clarets are still 19th in the league table, a point behind West Ham United in 18th and a six point gap from climbing out of the relegation zone.
Tuesday's visitors travel to Lancashire following a defeat at Manchester United on Boxing Day and winless in their previous three league games, with their last win coming against the Clarets at the beginning of the month.
How to watch
The game will not be streamed on Clarets+ due to Premier League rules and regulations, but is available to watch live on Sky Sports Tennis.
Free live audio commentary is available for the game on Clarets+ from 7:15pm with Phil Bird.

What Scott Parker said
"It's the busiest time of the year.
"No sooner have you finished assessing the fall-out from one game, than you're on to the next one.
"We've prepared as we always do and we're looking forward to another tough Premier League fixture at home, against a good Newcastle side.
"There's clearly a difference in Newcastle's home and away performances and results.
"We'll look to take advantage of those reasons that may contribute to that, but fundamentally, we're focused on ourselves and getting things right so we can put on a positive performance again.
"What I do know is, they've got a lot of quality in their squad, so we'll need to produce another strong performance in front of our own supporters at Turf Moor."
