"Four wins and a draw in the league since Liam Rosenior replaced Enzo Maresca at the start of the year is a more than decent return, and Chelsea go into the weekend knowing a win would lift them into the top four before the rest of the Saturday results are in. Their opponents, Burnley, have had a rather more turbulent week."
"A spirited 3-2 win at Crystal Palace suggested they retain the fight that will be needed if they are to escape the bottom three, only for a humiliating FA Cup exit at the hands of Mansfield Town to bring the mood crashing back down. Scott Parker's side travel to West London as heavy underdogs and with a defensive record - 51 goals conceded in 26 games - that is comfortably the worst in the division."
Chelsea have four wins and a draw in the league since a managerial change at the start of the year, leaving a win able to lift them into the top four before other Saturday results. Burnley followed a spirited 3-2 victory at Crystal Palace with a humiliating FA Cup defeat to Mansfield Town and head to Stamford Bridge as heavy underdogs, having conceded 51 goals in 26 league matches. Chelsea benefit from an eight-day break after Joao Pedro's Napoli winner and arrive fresher. Chelsea list multiple defensive absences while Reece James and Cole Palmer start. Burnley also have several absentees and name Martin Dúbravka in goal; the match kicks off at 3pm and is not available to watch live.
