Chelsea - Burnley live updates

Burnley will be hoping that Danny Ings continues his impressive recent run this afternoon. He has scored in five of his last six Premier League matches.

Having returned from suspension, Diego Costa will be looking to keep up his impressive goal scoring record. He scored on his debut at Turf Moor and has scored six goals in his last seven Premier League outings.

Sean Dyche on reports Danny Ings held talks with Real Sociedad: "It's just a reality of the business now. That's what the rules state. He's respectful of it. I've got no reason to doubt his thoughts about Burnley Football Club and what we're doing, you can tell that by his performances. He's been terrific all week in training so he certainly looks ready to play. He's known me a while so he knows he can trust me, and I think he trusts the people here. We're always very honest and open and I think he understands that."

Never one to shy away from speaking his mind, Jose Mourinho has revealed that Eden Hazard asked him to find him some ‘carbon shin pads’ to protect him from fouls from behind. Mourinho has called for greater protection for his player from referees.

On paper, this one looks like a mismatch. Chelsea have won all of their Premier League games against Burnley and have kept 16 clean sheets in their last 20 Premier League home games. A win would see them go ten points clear at the top with man City to play later today. Burnley lie second to bottom and have won just two of their 31 Premier League away games.

MATCH FACT: Chelsea have kept 16 clean sheets in their last 20 Premier League home games, conceding just six goals in that run.

Jose Mourinho on Paris Metro incident: "We feel ashamed but maybe we shouldn't because we - I - refuse to be connected with these people. I'm connected with Chelsea and the many good things this club defends and represents. I left Chelsea in 2007 and I couldn't wait to come back. I felt ashamed when I knew what happened, but I repeat I'm a proud Chelsea manager because I know what this club is. I feel ashamed to have been connected with this sad episode that happened and I have no more words."

So Juan Cuadrado makes his second Premier League appearance in a Chelsea shirt in an attacking line-up as Willian drops to the bench. Kurt Zouma continues in defence after his impressive recent showings with Tim Cahill on the bench. With all the attention on Chelsea during the week focusing on unsavoury events off the pitch, Jose Mourinho will want his side lto et their feet do the talking on it.
