Burnley is coming after a huge loss to City, they're in a very poor form but we still can't disrespect them, we must push forward and do our best to win this game.

I'd like to see this starting lineup:

------------------ Kepa -----------------

Azpilicueta - Rudiger - Luiz - Alonso

----------- Jorginho -------------

--- Kante -------- Barkley ----

Pedro ------ Giroud ----- Hazard

 

I'd prefer to start Barkley in this game, he has scored in his last games, he's hungry and doing a good work. Kovacic isn't bad, but Barkley is needed more for the win. Kovacic might replace him when we're taking the lead and need to take control of the game.

* Might be an interesting move to start RLC as our striker, I'm sure it's not his position, but it might worth a try.

COME ON CHELS!!!!!!!

Rest hazard, put RLC in his place. Otherwise I like it.

We all know how this f**ker gonna pan out.......they will be allowed to kick the sh*t out of us with impunity, they will get a goal out of nowhere or a set-piece, then come 84min he will show the first burnly yellow.......all set and dandy by the powers. Either way we are having it up the ass win or lose.

Morata shouldn't even travel, he's too much of a softee for Burnley

Jorginho

Pedro 

giroud 

hazard 

 

Alonso is off form imo and maybe time for Gary to get a chance.

Alonso was playing brilliant until he was stood on for the goal, an Garry, no, just no. 

Hopefully this weekend will result in a win for us AND a win for the Spuds. Great chance for us to put a bit of pressure on City.

Game Day.

Come on you Blues !!

The usual tough away game with Burnley out to kick everything that moves in a Chelsea shirt !

A win please to keep the run going.

 

Can’t seem to find the pre match presser for this, anybody seen it? 

Another team that seems to play their "cup final "against us 3pts is a must if we're to keep pushing for a top 4 finish...KTBFFH!!!

Morata against Burnley is something that I'd definitely recommend to the neutral audience. But as a Chelsea fan, I'd love not to see this abomination. 

Match day.Its bleeding freezing here so Burnley will be like the arctic.Physical game from them no doubt.Keep the ball and take the chances,COME ON YOU BLUES !

Had a dream last night we lost, and in an unprecedented announcement, Hazard said he had struck a new deal whereby he’d play 3 pre-season friendlies next summer, one for us, one for PSG & one for Juve.  

It will be freezing up in Burnley and our boys don't like the cold Oop North. Burnley will play out of their skins and Dyche will ensure that we have a torrid time. Our most pressing problem is our striker situation. You look at Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City and even Man Utd and they all possess many strikers. We on the other hand have Morata who scores one  goal out of 20 chances and Giroud, who just doesn't score. We are up sh*t creek without a paddle and we need to buy a decent striker in January and bring Batman back off of loan. As for todays game, I'm not confident. We need Hazard to play and we need all 3 points to keep  in touch with the top. Spurs play Man City manana and a draw would be ideal. Burnley are our bogey team but 3 points are essential. Let's hope we get them. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Filling me with confidence lol!

I was already a bit worried about this one. Never easy up there.

Come on Chelsea 

Really think that RLC should be starting this game, him or Barkley (can't believe I just said Barkley should start).

Kovacic is great and I think he is the better of the three, but as some of you guys have mentioned, we are lacking in the striker position. We need help from an attacking minded midfielder and I think that RLC proved on Thursday that he can do a great job.

Don't think the extra game we had on Thursday should have any impact on this game, only Kepa/Willian/Pedro are definite starters for this game, and only Kepa played the full game. Burnley will pay like United ( or vice versa), expect them to sit back and drag the game as long as they could, and rely on the crossing and tall timber up front. I'm confident about this game, we played an ordinary game last weekend and still got away with the point, don' think we will be that poor  and unlucky again.

Will be interesting to see how we do against a packed defence without Eden. Decent bench if we need to turn things around.

Hopefully we can get a quick goal and finish it off. This could be a real test for Sarri, if we fail to score towards the end. Will he have the balls to go all out for the win?

Awful team. 

No players who can  play outwide on the bench but a bunch of     midfielders   and a striker with no directness. 

f**k sake. We need to buy attackers. 

 

Hopefuly Fabregas can be of help

That is not a strong attacking line-up 

Could be a serious banana skin here...

Not a lineup that fills me with confidence, against a Burnley side which has picked up in recent weeks.

Giroud wasn't very good against BATE, but given Burnley's favoured playing style I still would have started him. 

EDIT: I'm not surprised that Hazard is short of full fitness, but could he have come off the bench like early in the season, or was he doing too poorly for that?

Surprised to not see Kovacic starting yet still think we will win and good to see RLC amongst the subs.

Looks distinctly average without Eden in there
