Chelsea are looking to make it seven wins in a row as they head to Turf Moor this evening to face Burnley.
Since losing 2-1 at home to Liverpool at Stamford Bridge back on September 22, Frank Lampard's Blues have won six matches on the spin, including three Premier League victories and a fine 1-0 Champions League win at Ajax on Wednesday night.
Chelsea find themselves sitting fourth in the table, eight points behind leaders Liverpool. While few would suggest Lampard's squad can realistically mount a title challenge this term, a top-four finish would be a fine result given the club's Fifa transfer ban and the summer sale of Eden Hazard.
But while Chelsea head to Burnley full of confidence, Sean Dyche's Clarets - who sit eighth after a decent run of form - are streetwise and will test the mentality of Lampard's youngsters.

Prediction: Burnley 1-1 Chelsea
This will be another tough test of the resilience of Lampard's squad, especially after a draining win in Amsterdam.
The Blues could well keep their winning run going, but Burnley are unbeaten in four League games and do not hand out points lightly at Turf Moor.
