Chelsea
- Sam Vokes is Sean Dyche's only injury worry ahead of the welcome of Chelsea.
- Burnley are expected to start summer signings Lucas Jutkiewicz and Matthew Taylor for their first league game of the season.
- Highly-rated Kieran Trippier should start at right-back ahead of Steven Reid at right-back.
- José Mourinho could hand starts to summer signings Diego Costa, Cesc Fábregas and Filipe Luis.
- Ramires is suspended, while Didier Drogba should miss out with ankle problem, but he is Mourinho's only injury worry.
- Petr Cech is expected to start ahead of Thibaut Courtois in between the sticks for the Blues.
This game should have been a draw, at the very least of Burnley
Cesc would be exhausted at the middle-end of the season, as he did in Arsenal and Barcelona.
@JohnBBO He was not exhausted at Barcelona. In fact, he was not playing enough minutes.
@JohnBBO this isn't arsenal or barcelona. THIS...IS...CHELSEEAAA
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, so sexy
Shurrle reminds me of muller. Not exactly alike but he is ver intelligent tactically, makes good runs, takes advantage of space, and can do a bit of everything offensively.
@Hakeemhemming. Da, its look like Muller, isn't really impressive, isn't a real striker or a real winger. But in fact, he is always on the good timing and create many clear cut chance. He is completely underestimated.
Oh dear, that second goal was sexy. 25 passes leading to that and a sweet assist by Cesc too
same old story, Hazard gets 8+ rating for nothing
@Nemeth You must have missed his run for the 2nd goal when he dribbled past the 5 players then? Or you're a hater?
@Nemeth he was a constant threat on attack and he helped create the second goal. 8 dribbles..
@Nemeth don't hate on greatness
@Nemeth 8 successful dribbles, what'd you expect?
@Nemeth Hey, he had 8 succsessfull dribbles ... For each dribble he gets one Rating.
@neumi17 yeah i know, and that's the pathetic part of ratings
totally agree, have a feeling that Shurrle will shine this season
Schuerrle is getting better and better ...
Typical Costa, typical yellow card
holy Cesc 0_0 ... 2 assists already?
@Redhawkz destroyed by barcelona. Revived by mourinho.
Wow Fabregas' touch was incredible.
@Skrong Just for that Wenger should have bought him.
@Thypot Wenger said he didn't want to come back to Arsenal.
@Philip_AE Yes but we don't know where is the truth. Anyway, he is far better than Özil.
@Skrong amen to that
that action... just WOW!
aaaaaaaaand.... its gone
Is Heaton goalkeeper now?
0-2 Chelsea
1-3, Costa with a brace.
@easyrlz He does't has a brace, i looked at his teeth.
Chelsea are not going to treat Burnley lightly, Mourinho will not have forgotten Chelsea's losses on the road that ultimately cost them the title.Chelsea win.
Scott Arfield 1-0 Burnley
1st week of the league and no one squad has come away with a commanding victory... I think Chelsea is going to demolish Burnley by 3+ goals. Just a feeling...
@HandofGod I have exactly the same feeling
vokes is out so this can be very easy for chelsea
Costa Hatrick
looks like an easy win for Chelsea in the, but you never know in the premier league. I say 1 all, don't hate me
Diego Costa to score more than once and Chelsea to win. 0-3
New season. C'mon Chelsea! C'mon Chelsea! C'mon Chelsea!!
