"Chelsea head to Burnley this lunchtime looking to extend an impressive record at Turf Moor and pile the pressure on their title rivals. The West Londoners have won their last six Premier League away games against Burnley, netting at least three goals in each of the last five. Another win this afternoon would move them up to second, for a few hours at least."
"It is unlikely to be a straightforward assignment, though, against a Burnley team scrapping for their lives at the other end of the table. The Clarets had moved into the relative safety of lower mid-table following wins over Wolves and Leeds but back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and West Ham have seen them slide back towards the relegation zone. Scott Parker's men go into the weekend in 17th, outside the bottom three on goal difference only."
"Cole Palmer misses out and will also be unavailable for Chelsea's next three games due to a toe injury. Chelsea's vast array of international players have all returned unscathed. There are four changes to the team that beat Wolves before the international break with Tosin Adarabioyo, Reece James, Andrey Santos and Jamie Gittens coming in. Wesley Fofana, Malo Gusto, Moises Caicedo and Alejandro Garnacho drop out."
Liam Delap will lead Chelsea's attack as they travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley. Chelsea have won their last six Premier League away games at Burnley and scored at least three goals in each of the last five. A victory would temporarily move Chelsea to second and within three points of leaders Arsenal. Burnley sit 17th and have slipped towards the relegation zone after defeats to Arsenal and West Ham despite earlier wins over Wolves and Leeds. Scott Parker selected the same XI that lost at West Ham. Cole Palmer is unavailable with a toe injury.
