Burnley possible 11:
Pope, Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton, McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Gudmundsson, Cornet and Wood
Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Burnley
Chelsea is in ruthless form having won their last 5 matches across competitions and are keen to continue showing their title credentials.
Burnley aim to build on their win last week and remove themselves from the relegation zone. We do not see them provide much trouble to the Blues due to the difference in quality.
We foresee a Blues win to keep their top spot intact.
Players to watch out for: Jorginho, Chilwell, Cornet and Brownhill.
