Burnley’s incredible season continued with an impressive 2-1 win over Leicester City in their last league game. That win made it 5 wins on the bounce for them after they had been billed as one of the favourites to get relegated at the beginning of the season. They are now unbeaten since the 10th of January and they look very good to even finish the season inside a European place.
The Clarets have an 8 points lead over 8th placed Leicester City and they are just two points behind Arsenal who are 6th even if they maintain the 7th position they would be playing in the Europa League except if Southampton wins the FA Cup, which is very unlikely. They won the reverse fixture 3-2 at Stamford in their first match of the season and they would be feeling they can get another win here.
Chelsea have had an underwhelming season and if they lose here, they would surely be out of contention for next season’s Champions League. The Blues survived a major scare in their last league game as they went 2-0 down to relegation-threatened Southampton. They were lucky to have Olivier Giroud as the French man came off the bench to score twice and helped them win the game 3-2.
