Three big things to know
1. Burnley will be without Dean Marney, Kevin Long, and Steven Defour, who are all injured. Jeff Hendrick is sidelined through suspension.
2. Chelsea's chances are given a big boost by the remarkable fact that they currently have no injuries or suspensions to contend with. The Blues will be able to field a full-strength lineup.
3. Chelsea ran out comfortable 3-0 winners in the reverse fixture and haven’t lost to Burnley in the league since way back in 1973. That season, Burnley finished sixth in the top flight, while the Blues finished down in a lowly 17th place.
