"The Blues squandered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Leeds in their last league outing, although they did enjoy a 4-0 FA Cup victory at Hull last Friday night. Burnley arrive needing points and quickly if they are to stave off an immediate return to the Championship. Scott Parker's side won on their last visit to the capital - 3-2 at Crystal Palace on February 11 - but then immediately lost any momentum gained with a dismal 2-1 defeat at home to League One side Mansfield."
"Chelsea have dropped more points from winning positions in Premier League home games than any other side this season (15). Indeed, only in 1995-96 (20) and 2015-16 (16) have they dropped more at Stamford Bridge in a single campaign. No team has scored in more different Premier League games than Chelsea this season (24), with the Blues' only two blanks coming in goalless draws against Crystal Palace in August and Bournemouth in December."
Chelsea host Burnley at Stamford Bridge in a Premier League fixture that presents contrasting urgencies. Chelsea recently surrendered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Leeds but recorded a 4-0 FA Cup win at Hull. Burnley require points urgently to prevent an immediate return to the Championship and arrive off mixed results, including a 3-2 win at Crystal Palace followed by a 2-1 home defeat to League One Mansfield. Historical and season statistics favour Chelsea in head-to-heads, but Chelsea have dropped an unusually high number of home points from winning positions this season.
