Match Preview:

Burnley have had a fantastic season and will want to continue their good form when they host Chelsea on Thursday evening. Sean Dyche’s side are now just 2 points behind Arsenal and their goal will be to finish in 6^th place.

On form Burnley would be 1^st in the league based on recent form, having won their last five games and at home they are unbeaten since losing 1-0 to Manchester United back in January. Last weekend the club pulled off an impressive 2-1 win over Leicester which moved them 9 points clear of the Foxes. The last place for the Europa League is hotting up and if Burnley can grab it from Arsenal it would be one of the shocks in Premier League history.

Chelsea impressed last weekend after going behind away to Southampton to come back and win 3-2. The Blues showed a rare fighting spirit, and with Tottenham losing it means the gap between a Champions League place was reduced to 7 points. This match then is all set up for both teams to do well in, and both will be highly motivated.
