Burnley vs Chelsea: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview

Chelsea make the journey to Turf Moor on Thursday as they take on Burnley in the Premier League.

The Blues' chances of securing a top-four finish are fading fast, but Antonio Conte will be desperate to end the season on a high note by putting together some positive results in the remaining five league games.

The Italian also has an FA Cup semi-final clash against Southampton to look forward to three days later and a win away to one of the division's meanest defences will serve as a major boost.

However, it won't be an easy task and it is notable that just eight points separate the Londoners from the Clarets, who came off the better when the sides met at Stamford Bridge on the opening day of the season.

Match Preview


Antonio Conte Chelsea

Chelsea are eight points adrift of fourth-place Tottenham with just 15 points left to play for, meaning that the likelihood of them securing a Champions League finish is slim. However, Conte remains defiant and insists that his players must not give up hope.

"We have to try until the end to reach this target [finishing in the top four]," Conte told reporters ahead of the match. "If we want to be realistic, then with five games to go it’s not simple to reduce the gap. But we must have the will to fight until the end and the desire to reach this target.

"Tomorrow we play a really strong team in Burnley, a team having a fantastic season and it won’t be easy to get the three points. But we have to try to win this game."

The last time Chelsea met Burnley resulted in a 3-2 defeat for the Blues as the Clarets went 3-0 up in the first half before Alvaro Morata and David Luiz struck late in the second half to make the scoreline appear respectable.

It was the first game of the season and the manner of the defeat set the tone for a woefully inconsistent season, which has seen Conte's men fall well below the standards expected of defending champions. On Thursday, they can exact revenge, but a win can also serve as a boost as they attempt to salvage some pride - and silverware - from what's left of the campaign.
