    Chelsea 2-0 Burnley

    Burnley get things back up and running at Stamford Bridge. All or nothing now for the Clarets, surely?

    I suppose you could say Burnley have been a bit more adventurous than they were against Liverpool. They've certainly had more possession, but have managed just one shot. Chelsea, meanwhile, have had 10 efforts at goal, five of those on target.

    Chelsea, at the moment, are breezing to the top of the league. 

    Plenty for Burnley to think about.

    Branislav Ivanovic gets Chelsea's second yellow of the game after a foul. A red card might be the only thing to keep things interesting in this game. Chelsea are in control

    Willian stands the full-back up so well and has got this burst of pace and then he flashes the ball across the goalkeeper. Top class.

    Oooh, not far off. Burnley throw caution to the wind and attack immediately from the restart as Scott Arfield fizzes a low effort just wide of the post.

    Willian (41 mins)

    Well, its been coming. 

    Chelsea grab a second just before half time through Willian, who cut inside Matt Lowton before flashing a low shot across Tom Heaton and into the far corner. 

    It's going to take something monumental from Burnley to get back into this one.

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 37 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Burnley

    Big save by Tom Heaton. Chelsea cut open the Burnley defence as Oscar picks out Diego Costa in the middle of the area. The striker shoots first time from no more than eight yards, but hits it right at Heaton. If Burnley can keep this to 1-0 at half time, then they are still in this.

    I fear I'm not coming across particularly balanced in describing chances here, but Burnley genuinely haven't given me any to describe. Just look at the heatmap.

    Chelsea 1-0 Burnley

    Credit to the Burnley fans. They are making one heck of din in the away end. The sun has just emerged for the first time this afternoon. Almost a perfect away day, apart from the fact their team has barely had a touch of the ball so far...

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 31 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Burnley

    Eden Hazard sells Oscar a little short with a pass and the midfielder tries to get there ahead of Sam Vokes by diving in two footed. He crunches Vokes and Mark Clattenburg blows his whistle and immediately reaches for a yellow card.

    Chelsea have a corner. It's whipped in and John Terry finds space to jump and meet the ball, directing a header towards the far corner but Tom Heaton has it covered.

    Matt Lowton has a real job on today. He's the man tasked with keeping an on-form Eden Hazard under control and it is a task he is struggling with. Saying that, an in his prime Cafu would struggle to keep Hazard quiet today.

    There is some good news for Burnley, though. Despite all of Chelsea's possession, they haven't tested Tom Heaton since Hazard's opener.

    Kante is looking lovely, doing all of the work.

    Hazard looks fabulous and Chelsea look comfortable.

    Chelsea are keeping the pressure up on Burnley, whose back four are camped just outside their own box. 

    There's a big gap between Burnley striker Andre Gray and his team-mates, presumably he is waiting for the chance of a quick break. As it is, that's going to be a long wait.

    Burnley are in disarray! Chelsea are like some sort of unstoppable football force at the moment, led by the excellent Eden Hazard, who has another shot deflected behind for a corner.

    That run from Eden Hazard was like something from the Hazard of two seasons ago. He burst forward and had the Burnley defence scrambling. He's hungry for more as he tries to squeeze in a shot at the near post. It is blocked for a corner, which is cleared.
