Chelsea are on the road to relegation favourites Burnley in Saturday’s Premier League action with the Blues eyeing a straightforward win.
The third-placed Chelsea will look for the three points to cement their top four hopes in the standings as the likes of West Ham United, Arsenal and Manchester United lag behind.
Thomas Tuchel’s men last turned midweek in the FA Cup against Championship outfit Luton Town who gave Chelsea a spirited fight but went down 3-2 with late goals from Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku securing the win.
Burnley, meanwhile, sit 18th in the league table with just three wins to their account for the season as Sean Dyche’s Clarets hope to emerge out of the drop zone in the coming weeks.

TEAM NEWS
Reece James could be set for a return to the starting XI after coming off the bench last time around Luton Town in the cup action midweek.
Trevoh Chalobah is expected to be deemed fit to make the team sheet for Chelsea despite the centre-back requiring stitches in the Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool.
MATCH PREDICTION
Chelsea should be running out victors rather comfortable against a struggling Burnley outfit.
Burnley 0-3 Chelsea
