Chelsea showed hints of vulnerability in their 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United last week but they can press brittle Burnley into submission at Turf Moor.

The hosts were dismantled 5-0 by Manchester City after a frustrating stalemate at home to Huddersfield and their leaky defence could struggle to deal with Chelsea's front line.

The Blues have won three of their four matches on the road this term, in which they have conceded just one goal, and they can shut out Sean Dyche's men.

Recommendation
Chelsea to win to nil
1pt 11-10 general
