LIVE – Chelsea v Burnley: Commentary, updates, goals and stats
Chelsea host Burnley this afternoon. Follow all the action from Stamford Bridge with our live commentary...
Chelsea will look to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they host struggling Burnley this afternoon.
The Blues squandered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Leeds in their last league outing, although they did enjoy a 4-0 FA Cup victory at Hull last Friday night.
Burnley arrive needing points and quickly if they are to stave off an immediate return to the Championship.
Scott Parker’s side won on their last visit to the capital – 3-2 at Crystal Palace on February 11 – but then immediately lost any momentum gained with a dismal 2-1 defeat at home to League One side Mansfield.
