Chelsea will face Burnley in the Premier League home game on Sunday. It will be coach Thomas Tuchel’s second match at Stamford Bridge and he will eye for three points definitely.
Despite having over 85% ball possession, Chelsea was held to a 0-0 draw by Wolves in their previous match. Burnely on the other hand is coming after winning 3-2 against Aston Villa. It was a shocking result as Sea Dyche’s team is on the borderline of relegation. They will yet again look to cause an upset in the Stamford Bridge against the Blues.
Chelsea has just tasted one defeat in their last five games but the overall performance of the team is very mediocre. They have earned a victory in just one Premier League game against Fulham.
The Blues will want to turn their dominant game into three points as that is the only way of moving up the table under Thomas Tuchel.

N’Golo Kante has recovered from his hamstring injury and can partner Mateo Kovacic who had a brilliant game against Wolves in the midfield. Youngster Mason Mount and Reece James will be hoping to get back into the first XI as Tuchel has admitted to relying on experienced players rather than going with the young ones.
Ashley Barnes, Charlie Taylor and Josh Brownhill will be not available for Burnely as they will travel to West London’s stadium for the Premier League clash.
