Tonight's game against Liverpool at Turf Moor looks to have been called off due to parts of the pitch being waterlogged.
Radio Lancashire are reporting that the groundsman had told their reporter Ian Chisnell that the match has been called off.
Sky Sports have also confirmed this news, with their source the referee.
The match referee, Mark Clattenburg decided to delay his decision to 19:15 which would be his final decision, if the match went ahead, it would have been delayed to 20:00. However he made his decision at 19:00
The covers were taken off the pitch at 18:00 but they couldn't prevent the heavy downpours that have fell over Burnley over the past few days from making the pitch an unplayable surface.
