Chelsea vs Burnley: 3 reasons why it is a must-win game for the Blues

Chelsea might get a win tonight against Burnley, but their rest of the games can tilt any way, depending upon who the better side is. Chelsea's final three games are against Man United, Watford and Leicester. The fact that the Blues have only bagged 4 points out of the available 9 will play a huge role as the opposing teams would have an upper hand in confidence; Leicester won 1-0 against Chelsea and Man United took a point against Chelsea, both at Stamford Bridge.

The game against Burnley is a must-win for the home side as neither Sarri nor the players can correctly predict the result of the remaining three games. Man United are surely struggling now, but they have a rich history of coming up big against the top six, and they are not to be underestimated.

If Chelsea win tonight, the pressure amongst the players will be less for the remainder of the games, and their chances for a top-four finish will tremendously improve.
