The Clarets enter the final lap of their marathon season just 90 minutes away from the promised land of the Premier League.
Owen Coyle’s heroes have already played 60 games and stand just one more win away from taking Burnley back into the top flight of English football for the first time in 33 years.
A place at Wembley in the final of the Carling Cup was cruelly snatched away from the Clarets by Tottenham’s injury-time semi-final winner on a night of high drama at Turf Moor in January.
But Coyle’s men have since bounced back in remarkable style to bury the disappointment of that moment and secure today's trip to the home of English football.
