"Chelsea have kept two clean sheets in 10 games since appointing Liam Rosenior as head coach last month. Repeated doziness at the back has cost them. They have held commanding advantages against Charlton, Crystal Palace, Wolves and Leeds, only to give away silly goals. It is a bad habit and proved costly when a 2-0 lead was squandered during Tuesday's draw with Leeds."
"The FA Cup is far from their biggest priority this season but it has given Nuno Espirito Santo's side momentum in their fight to stay up. They have taken 10 points from five league games since beating QPR and are increasingly optimistic about their survival chances before taking on lowly League One opponents in Burton Albion. Nuno will probably make changes"
Chelsea have struggled for defensive consistency since appointing Liam Rosenior, keeping only two clean sheets in ten matches and repeatedly surrendering leads through careless goals. Rosenior expects a steadier defensive display as his side travel to Hull, his former club, where advancement is likely but the manner of progression matters. West Ham gained momentum from an FA Cup win over QPR and have collected ten points from five league games, boosting survival hopes ahead of a tie with Burton Albion with possible squad rotations. Burnley remain competitive despite relegation worries and could still produce an FA Cup surprise.
