Pre-match buzz
Lampard's men have a Champions League fixture against Krasnodar ahead of their Burnley clash on Wednesday and looking at the recent form guide, Chelsea will look to get a win as their last five Premier League game results read LDWDD and they will be keen on making the most of their opportunity against a struggling Burnley. The game Krasnodar will hopefully see them switch to attack mode and continue the pattern when they travel to Lancashire on Saturday.
There's no doubt the Blues evolved into a more formidable force under Lampard. They have played proactive football with an emphasis on pressing and precision passing. Their possession percentages against Sevilla and United were 56% and 43% respectively and that's proof they have been matched up to their opponents in that test; however, they need to score.
Who will win?
This is the Blues game to lose. Their offense has come into question and if they fail to register a win against Burnley, there's no doubt that Lampard will come under intense scrutiny.
