Chelsea hope to chip away at the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool this weekend when they visit struggling Burnley in the Premier League.

The Blues booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals this week with a win against Luton and are looking to bring a strong end to what has been a wild week for the club.

Owner Roman Abramovich announced on Wednesday that he will be selling the London side but Thomas Tuchel and his men will be looking to show that they have not been distracted by off-field issues.

Wout Weghorst is the lowest-priced Burnley player to strike first at 17/2 (9.5) while Ashley Barnes is 11/1 (12.00).

Burnley vs Chelsea preview

Thomas Tuchel's team bounced back from their Carabao Cup final defeat by beating Luton Town in the FA Cup fifth round.

It was no easy victory for Tuchel's team, however, as the Championship side twice took the lead before Romelu Lukaku struck the winner in the second half.

A trip to Burnley will not be a stroll for the Stamford Bridge side, either. Sean Dyche's team have given their hopes of survival a slight boost in recent weeks until they were beaten 2-0 by Leicester on Tuesday.

They now sit third-bottom of the table and escape from the relegation zone is a possibility for Dyche's side, with Everton just one point above them and Leeds two points ahead.

Burnley vs Chelsea tips & predictions

There have been under 2.5 goals in four of Chelsea's last five matches in the Premier League and in four of Burnley's last five.

You can get odds of 4/5 (1.8), for that bet to come through once again this week.
