Burnley will close 2016 with a Premier League home fixture on New Year's Eve against David Moyes' Black Cats and then open 2017 with a trek to the North East for a visit to the Stadium of Light for an all Premier League FA Cup clash.
No doubt Premier League survival will be a priority for both clubs and it will be interesting to see which of the Premier League's relegation candidates wants to progress to the 4th round the most?
Away fans ticket allocation and prices and match date are as yet to be confirmed. (TEC)
