and live on Freeview channel 276
The Clarets were unable to find the net for a 15th time in 30 Premier League games this season as they slipped up against bottom side Norwich, who kept alive any slim hopes of avoiding relegation with goals in each half from Pierre Lees-Melou and Teemu Pukki.
As a result, the Canaries’ odds of staying up have been shortened from 25/1 to 16/1, while Burnley have drifted from 1/1 to 9/4, as the chances of a seventh-successive Premier League season look increasingly difficult for the Sean Dyche’s side, as they sit four points adrift of safety with eight games remaining.
