Match Preview

A red-hot Burnley side that suddenly has the Europa League in sight take on Chelsea, who landed a hard-fought and rare win last week, in this 33rd round of the Premier League (PL).
Sean Dyche’s Burnley are finishing the season with a flourish. Five victories in as many games puts them top of the five-game form table and after beating Leicester 2-1 last time out, Dyche stated the obvious: “Days like these must be good for everyone”. Indeed!
Although Chelsea have been struggling of late, they may prove a tough nut to crack. Last time out against Southampton they came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 after three goals in eight minutes! A long awaited confidence boost, after a poor period with just one win in their last five.
The reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge in the opening round saw Burnley claim all the points in a stunner of a match including five goals (2-3), seven yellows and two reds (both for Chelsea). Though Chelsea almost clawed their way back from 0-3 down in that one, they will surely hope to improve their performance here.
Players to watch: Burnley’s Chris Wood has returned from injury a renewed man and has five goals in as many matches since. Can he keep the streak going?
Chelsea wizard Eden Hazard has looked as if he has lost his magic wand these past few months, but maybe the equalizer against Southampton can signal a return to form.
Stat attack: Heated! The last four fixtures between the two sides have seen 19 yellow cards and three reds! All three reds have gone to Chelsea.
The clubs have met seven times since the PL was founded and all the games have contained two goals or more. Chelsea have had the upper hand with a record of: W4, D2, L1.
Burnley have conceded first in seven of their last ten games.
