Match Preview:

Chelsea are in 5^th with just a 1-point gap behind Man Utd. Although 5^th is almost guaranteed to get UCL qualification The Blues will be aiming much higher. Home form is not actually that great from them though with just 6 wins from 13 games. Overall recent form is good with 7 wins from last 9 games.

Burnley are 2^nd bottom of the league with just 4 wins all season, they are 9 points behind Forest in 17^th and safety. Away form for them is rubbish with just 2 wins from 13 games. Recent form sees 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.

Betting Preview:

Burnley desperately need wins and Stamford Bridge is not a place you can easily find them. Should be goals here as both sides are open defensively. Home win is an easy selection but won’t make you rich. Try Chelsea win and both score at attractive prices.
