Chelsea vs Burnley: Preview, predictions and lineups

Chelsea host Burnley on Saturday with both sides enduring torrid seasons that have seen them fall short of their objectives in the Premier League.

Mauricio Pochettino's Blues are very faintly in the battle for a Europa Conference League place and beat Newcastle 3-2 in their last league match before knocking Leicester City out of the FA Cup.

The visiting Clarets sit five points from safety after some terrible form but managed a much-needed win over Brentford before the international break.
