Preview: Burnley vs Chelsea
Currently in fourth spot, Chelsea will be looking to make it four wins on the spin and put some pressure on the top three sides as they take on Burnley on the road. Overall, should they win this fixture, it will make it a seventh straight win for Frank Lampard's side across all competitions. Given that Burnley have won just one of their last ten Premier League games against Chelsea, this fixture does look firmly poised to go in Chelsea's favor as Lampard aims to win four straight league games for the first time in his young managerial career.
In addition, with Chelsea winning their last three away games and Burnley's lousy record against the "big six" - just one win in their last 25 Premier League games - the Blues are looking like the big favorites here. However, will their exertions from their hard-fought 1-0 win over Ajax come back to haunt them?

Team news: Burnley vs Chelsea
Burnley: Striker Chris Wood is a major doubt due to a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, both Jack Cork and Ashley Barnes look set to return to the fold after recovering from shoulder and groin injuries. However, Danny Drinkwater can't feature against parent club Chelsea due to a clause in his loan deal, and even if he could, he wouldn't have played due to an injury.
Chelsea: Ross Barkley, N'Golo Kante, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are all still recovering from injury and thus won't make the trip to Turf Moor.
