Chelsea welcome Burnley to Stamford Bridge on Monday night, with the Blues looking to bounce back from the defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League last week.Progression to the Europa League semi-final should have lifted the spirits of Chelsea fans on Thursday, but a poor second half performance against Slavia Prague has only raised more questions for (and around) Maurizio Sarri.
Antonio Rudiger is unavailable as he recovers from a knee injury sustained at Anfield, with Andreas Christensen in line to continue alongside David Luiz in the centre of defence. Eden Hazard is expected to play through the pain caused by the tough tackling Prague side, giving Sarri a near full squad to choose from.
Burnley started 2018-19 in just about the worst manner imaginable and, rather than cementing their place in the top half as they had hoped, they spent the rest of the season fighting relegation. Their campaign has suffered a number of blows, from unexpected Europa League heartbreak to having to play Joe Hart, and it is to their credit that they have now secured their Premier League status for another season — still an achievement in and of itself.
Manager, shameless self-promoter and likely Brexiteer Sean Dyche has had to use all of his motivational skills to pull Burnley back from the brink. From the start of October until Boxing Day they won only one of twelve games and conceded three or more goals in half of them, getting absolutely pummelled by Manchester City, Chelsea and Everton. It looked for all the world that Burnley’s opponents, no longer taking them lightly, had figured out how to break them down. More worrying still, it seemed like the players had lost their will to survive.
Burnley travel to London to face Chelsea on Monday night, as the Clarets seem to have secured their Premier League survival once more.
Last week's 2-0 win over Cardiff City looks to have brought Burnley out of a relegation battle with four games to spare, continuing their good form of three consecutive wins.
Sean Dyche has a full squad available for the trip to Stamford Bridge and it is unlikely that there will be many changes from the victory over Cardiff.
