Levi Colwill makes non-negotiable Chelsea demand as Mauricio Pochettino sent striker message

Levi Colwill has demanded that Chelsea play with 'confidence, aggression and desire' against Burnley. Vincent Kompany will welcome the Blues to Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon as either side looks to climb the Premier League table before the international break.

Chelsea head into the fixture following back-to-back victories over Brighton in the Carabao Cup and Fulham in the English top-flight. After a shaky start to the campaign, the west Londoners appear to have finally turned a corner and Pochettino will be desperate to extend his side's winning streak.

As for Burnley, they currently sit third from bottom in the Premier League. However, the Clarets managed to pick up their first win of the season last week, beating Luton Town 2-1 on Tuesday night.

In what could be a difficult clash in Lancashire, Colwill has insisted that Chelsea must remain focused on the task at hand. In an interview with the official Blues website, the Cobham graduate said: «We’ve played well in the majority of games we’ve played so far this season.

»So to go [to Fulham] and get what we deserved was a good sign. We’ve got to build from that, we can’t take it for granted. We have to go to Burnley with the same confidence, aggression and desire to get the win.

«Every game in the Prem is tough, especially for us with the pressure from outside the club. We’ve got to blur that out, go there and play like Chelsea.
