    Eden Hazard (9 mins)

    Eden Hazard, back to his best? We're only nine minutes into this game, but it certainly looks like he is. The Chelsea forward gets the ball midway inside the Burnley half, drives forward before cutting inside then shooting low from outside the box and into the bottom corner. Top finish.

    Chelsea 0-0 Burnley

    First shot to Chelsea, Branislav Ivanovic having a go from distance. It sails high and wide. 

    "Belief" screams Sean Dyche from the touchline.

    Chelsea 0-0 Burnley

    It's a slow and steady start to this game. Neither side pressing particularly hard in the first few minutes as Nemanja Matic lamps a crossfield pass into the stands.

    Andre Gray is sticking close to John Terry. That could be an interesting battle this afternoon...

  6. Burnley doing it 'the Leicester way'?published at 14:58 British Summer Time 27 August 2016

    As demonstrated against Liverpool, Burnley could win a decent percentage of their points this season in games you might not expect them to get anything from.

    Old-fashioned 'two banks of four' discipline allied to hard work and the ability to take their precious few chances can get teams a long way - 'the Leicester way' if you like.

    I've a feeling Chelsea will find a way through though.

    I thought Michy Batshuayi would be a shoe in for a start today. Shows what I know!

    Chelsea boast a perfect record so far in the Premier League, having picked up wins against West Ham and Watford. However, on both occasions it has taken a late, late Diego Costa strike to bag the points.

    It's not over until it's over, as they say. Burnley will need to be on their game right until the final minute.

    History is not on Burnley's side. You'd have to go way back to 1971 for when they last won at Stamford Bridge.

    To be fair, Sean Dyche probably has a right to feel a bit annoyed about how he is perceived. He oversaw a hugely impressive result last-time out in the Premier League as Burnley beat Liverpool 2-0.

    Much was made of the Clarets' 19% possession but, at the end of the day, its what you do with it that counts and Burnley made the most of the ball when they had it.

    Tough tests come thick and fast in the top flight, and getting a result at Stamford Bridge will not be easy. However, if they get their tactics spot on once again, you never know...

    Shall we have a bit of team news? Let's have a bit of team news.

    Willian comes back in for Chelsea after recovering from a calf injury but Cesc Fabregas is on the bench. The midfielder has not started a league game for the Blues so far this season and was left out of the Spain squad this week. 

    Michy Batshuayi also returns to the bench despite scoring twice when he started in the 3-2 EFL Cup win over Bristol Rovers in midweek. 

    Chelsea XI: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Kante; Willian, Oscar, Matic, Hazard; Costa.

    Burnley boss Sean Dyche has named the same XI that beat Liverpool in their previous Premier League outing.

    Burnley XI:  Heaton, Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward, Defour, Marney, Arfield, Boyd, Vokes, Gray.

    "See Sean Dyche doing that and you’d say, ‘dinosaur, a young English dinosaur manager, hasn’t got a clue.’  

    That's not someone talking about Sean Dyche. That's Sean Dyche talking about Sean Dyche.

    He thinks foreign coaches get an easier ride than British ones, even if both employ defensive tactics. He'll get the chance to put that theory to test in a little under 30 minutes when his Burnley side take on Chelsea.

    Genius, meet dinosaur. Dinosaur, say hello to genius.

    We might think the two are worlds apart, but that's not case. At least, according to Sean Dyche.

    The Burnley boss reckons he and Chelsea boss Antonio Conte are alike. The only difference? Perception. He believes Conte is seen as a genius, whereas he is viewed as a dinosaur.

    Will he change that perception today?
