Looking to pick up their eighth win on the spin, Chelsea take on Burnley in round 11 of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The visitors head into the game fresh off the back of an impressive 3-1 win over Brentford and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling and move out of the relegation places.
Chelsea edged closer to a place in the knockout stages of the Champions League as they claimed a 1-0 win over Malmö in Group H last Tuesday.
Prior to that, Thomas Tuchel’s side comfortably brushed aside Newcastle United 3-0 in their last Premier League outing last weekend.
Chelsea have won seven straight games in all competitions and their fine form has seen them surge to the top of the Premier League table.
Meanwhile, Burnley claimed their first win of the season last time out when they saw off Brentford 3-1 on home turf.
Prior to that, Sean Dyche’s men picked up four draws and lost five of their opening nine league outings of the season.
Despite the win, Burnley remain in 18th place, three points below Leeds United just outside the relegation zone.
