Burnley head to Chelsea on Saturday looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.
From likely line-ups to odds and the referee, all you need to know can be found below.
Key battle
If Burnley are to get anything from their trip to Stamford Bridge, they’ll have to defend much better than they did in the reverse fixture three months ago. Christian Pulisic was a constant thorn in the Clarets’ side that day and, if he starts, stopping him will be paramount to Burnley’s chances.
Last meeting
Pulisic’s hat-trick fired Chelsea to their seventh successive victory in October. Willian's strike put Frank Lampard’s side 4-0 up at Turf Moor before the hour mark. Burnley rallied with goals from Dwight McNeil and Jay Rodriguez but they came too late to threaten a fightback.
Referee
Kevin Friend
Likely line-ups
Chelsea: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Reece James, Antonio Rudiger, Kurt Zouma, Cesar Azpilicueta, N’Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic, Willian, Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic.
Burnley: Nick Pope, Phil Bardsley, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Charlie Taylor, Robbie Brady, Ashley Westwood, Jack Cork, Dwight McNeil, Chris Wood, Jay Rodriguez.
Odds
Chelsea are 3/10 favourites to inflict Burnley’s fourth successive Premier League defeat at the weekend. The Blues home form has been patchy at best this season though, and a draw at 17/4 might not be a bad bet. Optimistic Clarets’ fans can back a Burnley win at 9/1.
