Burnley's Zian Flemming is one to watch today. He's scored three times in eight Premier League appearances this season, and netted in their last outing, a 3-2 loss at West Ham.
The striker is finding form at a time when the Clarets need goals.

To be honest, the only issue I have with the starting line up is Tosin because he's been way off his best lately and culpable for some of the late goals we've conceded. Unfortunately, the bench isn't that strong in that area, so we'll see how that pans out today..

Burnley boss Scott Parker speaking to TNT Sports: "It is definitely important to see a response to what we saw last time. We fell a little bit short in some key moments in terms of focus and set piece set up and we definitely need to be better in that today. We have done very well, certainly at home, and we are looking forward to this game today."
On Chelsea: "A big challenge ahead of us, a very well coached team with huge quality in their side. As always they come here, away from home, early kick off, and we need to take the game to them.
"We are going to have to be at our optimum in every phase of our game today. We need to try to bring some intensity into this stadium and make it uncomfortable, and then try to show our qualities in our moments as well. Try to be brave. We have prepped well and we are looking forward to it."

Moises Caicedo played two 90 minute friendly matches with Ecuador during the international break and then squeezed in a bit of family time before coming back.
The 24-year-old midfielder was given permission by Chelsea to squeeze in a chance to celebrate his child's first birthday in Ecuador before coming back.
It was a very short celebration after a 2-0 win over New Zealand, with a helicopter used to shorten the journey back to the airport, and then he landed overnight on Thursday.
This was the last chance Caicedo will have until March to go home to his family with a busy schedule in English football to come.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca speaking to TNT Sports: "If you can keep the momentum it is always important, knowing very game is different, every game is tough. We need to go one by on."
On Cole Palmer's absence: "Yes it was also tough to lose him for the previous games but to lose a player like Cole is always difficult, but soon he will be with us."
On Wesley Fofana not being involved: "Just to manage him and protect him a little bit. He is playing, he is good and he is fit and we are very happy with that."
On Moises Caicedo being on the bench: "Nothing [to do with Barcelona and Arsenal]. The reason he is not in the first eleven is that came back Thursday night from Ecuador, from the national team, then just a light session with us yesterday, and the reason he is not playing is that it is impossible. To protect him a little bit.
On his 50th Premier League game in charge at Chelsea: "Happy. Happy to join this huge club and I'm excited for the amount of things we can do.
On Burnley: "Big challenge. First of all they are a good team and they are with the same manager from last year winning the Championship, and they are doing well and fighting every game. So it will be tough for sure."
As for Burnley they could end this weekend anywhere from 19th to 14th depending on results elsewhere.

Brian Laws missed a game for Nottingham Forest just before the League Cup final in 1989 having badly cut his hand on a corned beef tin. Happily, he returned for the final.

Burnley have won just one of their 18 Premier League games against Chelsea (D5, L12), picking up a 3-2 victory at Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend of the 2017-18 season.

Chelsea might have to wait a bit longer for Cole Palmer's return from injury but their attack is already stronger with Joao Pedro and Liam Delap both back fit.
I still think this game will be quite tight, though. Burnley are well organised and their only home defeats so far have been against Liverpool and Arsenal.
This smells of a 1-1 draw to me, but I am actually going to go with Chelsea to edge it for what would be their third league win in a row.
Enzo Maresca's side are third at the moment and seem to have found more consistency than they had last season, although I still don't see them as genuine title contenders. They are not as strong as Arsenal or Manchester City.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Time will tell but I disagree with Tony, strong line up starting and if all play as well as they can then Burnley shouldn't be too much danger. Risk reward given the potential workload this season.

Andrew: re Tony @ 11:26- if the man is tired it seems pretty sensible to leave him on the bench. Otherwise you could easily end up with some sort of stress injury which would take much longer to clear up.
Yep, Alejandro Garnacho is in good form, he had two assists against Wolves before the international break.
Garnacho could make his 100th Premier League appearance in this match. Aged 21 years and 144 days, he would be the youngest South American to reach the milestone, overtaking Gabriel Martinelli from October 2023 (22y 125d).

What happened to Garnacho? If my knowledge serves me right, he was not away in the break, and performed brilliantly against Wolves. Maresca must have hit his head in the night and forgotten.

Burnley have won just one of their 18 Premier League games against Chelsea (D5 L12), picking up a 3-2 victory at Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend of the 2017-18 season.
Chelsea have won eight of their nine Premier League away games against Burnley (D1), including each of the last six in a row. Only at Bolton (9 between 2004 and 2011) and Sunderland (9 between 2003 and 2013) have they won more consecutively in the competition.
Chelsea have won their last six Premier League away games against Burnley, netting at least three goals in each of the last five. In English top-flight history, only two teams have won six consecutive away games at another while scoring 3+ goals each time – Chelsea at Arsenal between 1960 and 1965, and Man City at West Brom between 2013 and 2021.
Burnley have lost four of their last six Premier League matches (W2), conceding 2+ goals in five of those games. Indeed, the Clarets have kept just two clean sheets in their last 31 Premier League games, shipping 64 goals in this period (2.1 per game).
Chelsea have won both of their last two Premier League away games, each without conceding; the Blues last won three in a row on the road in the competition while keeping a clean sheet each time in November 2021 (4).
In the Premier League this season, Burnley have had the fewest shots (90), lowest xG (8.3), lowest possession (38.6%), faced the most shots (192), and have the highest xGA (24.0). Since Opta have this data available (from 2012-13), the Clarets are the only side on record to rank poorest for each of these metrics in a campaign in the division.
Chelsea have won each of their last seven Premier League games kicking off at 12:30pm on a Saturday; in the competition’s history, on just three occasions has any side had a longer winning run in this exact kick-off slot: Manchester United (8 from Jan 2003-Dec 2003), Chelsea themselves (8 from May 2005-Dec 2017), and Manchester City (9 from May 2021-Oct 2022).
João Pedro has scored in both of Chelsea’s last two Premier League games and could score in three successive appearances in the competition for just the second time, after doing so in February/March last season for Brighton. However, the Brazilian has never scored in four games against Burnley in the Premier League, only facing Brentford (7) and Everton (5) more times without finding the net.
Zian Flemming has scored three goals in four Premier League starts for Burnley; the only player to score 4+ goals in his first five starts in the competition for the Clarets is Maxwel Cornet (4).
Chelsea’s Alejandro Garnacho could make his 100th Premier League appearance in this match. Aged 21 years and 144 days, he would be the youngest South American to reach the milestone, overtaking Gabriel Martinelli from October 2023 (22y 125d).
