Chelsea have scored nine goals in their last three games
Burnley have conceded 32 goals in 13 away league matches
Recommended Bet: Over 3.5 goals
There are three 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League on Saturday including the contest between Champions League contenders Chelsea and relegation battlers Burnley at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are fifth in the standings after taking 13 points from their last five league games, while Burnley are 19th and know they will remain there as they are eight points ahead of rock-bottom Wolves but still six behind West Ham in 18th.
Chelsea won the teams' first meeting of the season 2-0 at Turf Moor in November but there could be more goals in their second meeting with both teams getting involved in some high-scoring games of late.
Team news
Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Dario Essugo, Filip Jorgensen and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens are set to miss the game for Chelsea and Romeo Lavia may not be risked, but Cole Palmer is expected to return after being held out of the FA Cup tie against Hull.
Burnley are set to be without Connor Roberts, Mike Tresor, Jordan Beyer, Zeki Amdouni, Axel Tuanzebe and Josh Cullen, but Jaidon Anthony should be available for the trip to London after missing last week's FA Cup defeat by Mansfield.

Prediction
Burnley have frustrated Chelsea on their last two visits to Stamford Bridge, drawing 1-1 there in November 2021 and 2-2 in March 2024, but they are unlikely to hold back a Chelsea side chasing a Champions League place when they meet this time.
The Clarets look doomed to return to the Championship as they are nine points short of the safety line with only 12 matches left, but they had their best away result of the season last time out in the Premier League when they won 3-2 at Crystal Palace.
However, Scott Parker's side followed that with their worst result of the season when they lost 2-1 at home to League One Mansfield in the FA Cup last week,and after conceding twice to the Stags, their defence could be in for a tough time against Chelsea's array of attacking talent.
The Blues have scored nine goals in their last three games against Wolves, Leeds and Hull, and with Cole Palmer likely returning to their line-up there is potential for a game with at least four goals.
Six of Chelsea's last seven games have produced over 3.5 goals, with the exception being the cagey second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final at Arsenal, and with their last four home league games including 2-2 draws with Bournemouth and Leeds and a 3-2 win over West Ham, a high-scoring game would not look out of place in their results list.
