Follow live coverage as Plymouth Argyle face Burnley in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

Burnley blew away bottom side Plymouth Argyle to keep up the pressure on the top two in the fight for automatic promotion.

Burnley overwhelmed the EFL Championship's bottom side Plymouth Argyle, winning 5-0 on a chilly night in at Home Park, and scoring all the goals in the first half.

Argyle face off against Whittaker’s other suitors, Burnley, on Wednesday night at Home Park – perhaps a chance to give both new boss Miron Muslic and Scott Parker some food for thought.

Plymouth Argyle are five points adrift from safety at the bottom of the Championship following a 1-0 defeat at home to QPR on Saturday, which extended their winless run in the league to 13 games (D6 L7). New boss Miron Muslic is still searching for his first league win with the Pilgrims, who welcome promotion-chasing Burnley to Home Park.
