Chelsea continue their pursuit of a Premier League top-four finish as Burnley head to west London on Saturday.
Frank Lampard's Blues had looked in danger of slipping out the Champions League qualification places, but fine wins at Tottenham and Arsenal have left the Blues with a five-point cushion before they welcome an out-of-sorts Burnley.
Date: Saturday, January 11th, 2020
Venue: Stamford Bridge, London.
Kick-off time: 3pm GMT
Prediction: Chelsea 3-1 Burnley
Chelsea boast a great League record against Burnley, losing just once in 11 games. The Clarets have lost their last three League outings to slip to 15th, and are unlikely to find any joy at the Bridge.
