The Premier League season resumes on Saturday at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea hosts Burnley.
Chelsea is fifth in the table with 44 points and comes in off a 4-0 thrashing of Hull City in the FA Cup last Friday. Liam Rosenior’s side blew a two-goal lead in its last league outing against Leeds, setting for a 2-2 draw.
Chelsea has scored in 20 straight competitive games against Burnley, so the attacking threat isn’t in doubt. The three-headed monster of Cole Palmer, João Pedro, and Paulo Neto are in blinding form lately, finding the back of the net on a regular basis.

Meanwhile, Burnley arrives in 19th place with 18 points and is deep in a relegation fight. Scott Parker’s side came from two goals down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 last weekend, but followed that up with an embarrassing FA Cup exit against League One side Mansfield Town.
The Clarets have conceded a league-high 51 goals this season, but they’ve been a tough out at Stamford Bridge lately, going unbeaten in their last two trips there with two draws.
