Uncorking Clarets

Chelsea will rotate, they probably won't convince, but they will find a way to win.

Burnley’s spirit and determination will ensure this match is much closer than many people anticipate but Chelsea’s sheer bloody-mindedness will ensure they still take the points. The Blues are a best price 31/10 to win by a one goal margin.

The Clarets have been competitive in most of their clashes with the big boys in 2014-15. They deserved much better than a 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford 10 days ago but at the same time that match demonstrated the underdogs’ naivety.

Sean Dyche’s boys also blew a 2-0 lead at White Hart Lane in the FA Cup last month but the one they need to remember is the thrilling 2-2 draw secured at the Etihad at the end of December. That was a comeback from 2-0 down.

But that fixture, when contrasted with the outcome today, will almost certainly show why Chelsea will be champions this season instead of Manchester City. Diego Costa returns from domestic suspension and he may just prove the difference in the end.
