Chelsea welcome Burnley later today. Catch every moment from Stamford Bridge with our live updates…
Chelsea aim to resume their victorious form in the Premier League as they receive underperforming Burnley this afternoon.
The Blues let slip a 2-0 advantage to tie 2-2 with Leeds in their most recent top-flight fixture. Despite this, they did secure a 4-0 FA Cup triumph at Hull the past Friday evening.
Burnley arrive needing crucial points urgently if they are to avert a prompt descent back to the Championship.
Scott Parker’s squad claimed a victory during their last trip to the capital – 3-2 at Crystal Palace on February 11. However, they swiftly squandered the impetus they had acquired with a dismal 2-1 defeat at home to League One side Mansfield immediately thereafter.
