Burnley v Chelsea - Preview and possible lineups

Burnley: The 'Clarets' are still without a host of players, with Ben Mee (shin), Scott Arfield (calf), Jon Walters (match fitness following knee surgery), Steven Defour and Robbie Brady (both knee) all set to miss this one. Sean Dyche could opt to field the same side that beat Leicester last time out.

Chelsea: Danny Drinkwater is a doubt for the 'Blues' with a groin niggle, whilst David Luiz (knee) and Ethan Ampadu (ankle) remain sidelined. Emerson Palmieri will make his first PRemier League start, with Antonio Conte set to rotate ahead of the FA Cup semi-final against Southampton on Sunday.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche:

"The fans are beginning to think about it [Europa League]. Mainly the focus here stays on the next game.

"We've got Chelsea next and they're certainly a fine side. We'll see where it takes us but it's very pleasing to be in this position at this stage of the season."

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte on Champions League qualification:

"We have to try until the end to reach this target.

"If we want to be realistic with five games to go, it's not simple to reduce the gap, but we must have the will to fight, the desire to take this target. Why not?

"We have an important game against Burnley, a really strong team having a fantastic season, and it won't be easy to get three points."
