Burnley head into the final day of the Premier League season knowing they can etch their names in the club's history books with a win over Brighton.
While the game may appear to a dead rubber on paper with European qualification out of reach for Burnley and Brighton safe from relegation, Sean Dyche's side are on the verge of reaching their highest-ever points total.
The Clarets currently have 57 points, equalling their total from the 2017-18 season when they qualified for the Europa League.
But with one match to go, they can still surpass their achievement with a win over Brighton in what would represent a superb campaign for Dyche's men.
Date, time and venue
Burnley vs Brighton is scheduled for a 4pm BST kick-off on Sunday, July 26, 2020.
The match will be behind closed doors at Turf Moor with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.
How to watch
TV channel: The match will be televised live on Sky Sports Arena, with coverage starting from 4pm and is available via Now TV with a day pass for £9.99, or a three-month pass on offer for £25.

Team news
Dyche confirmed in his pre-match press conference that left-back Charlie Taylor will miss the final game of the season with a hamstring problem.
Taylor joins Ben Mee (thigh), Ashley Barnes (hernia), Jack Cork (ankle) and Matt Lowton (foot) in the physio room with Burnley likely to name an unchanged line-up from the win against Norwich last time out.
Brighton have no fresh injury concerns with Jose Izquierdo and Steven Alzate remaining on the sidelines.
Prediction: Burnley 2-0 Brighton
Burnley are ending the season in fine form with a seven-match unbeaten run since their heavy 5-0 defeat at Man City, while Brighton are winless in their last four games.
Expect a comfortable home win and another clean sheet for Nick Pope, who is fighting to win the Premier League's Golden Glove award.
