The Clarets launch their FA Cup challenge against Barnsley looking to avoid an upset and keep firing on all fronts.
Successive Premier League wins since Boxing Day have lifted Burnley out of the bottom three and restored the feel-good factor to Turf Moor.
Continuing the battle to stay in the top flight remains the number-one goal heading into 2019 and many of the players who have helped put those recent points on the board will get a breather.
But manager Sean Dyche still sees value in the Cup as the Clarets bid to improve on their recent poor record in the competition and give useful game-time to squad members who could still have big roles to play in the second half of the campaign.
