It's been a cracking start to this game. Chelsea looking sharp on the counter while Burnley are keeping shape and threatening what is usually a solid Blues rearguard.
12'
Chelsea break and win a free kick 4 yards out. Luiz steps up and hits a bouncing, tame effort that is easy for Heaton to gather.
11'
Burnley carve Chelsea open down the right. It's cut back but Barnes can't get it out of his feet. The visiting defence are all over the show but they get out of jail and eventually hack it clear as it fails to fall for the hosts.
10'
That was Pedro's fifth goal in his last six starts in all competitions.
9'
Burnley respond with Barnes flashing a volley from the edge of the area straight at Courtois.
8'
True. It was lethal.
7'
GOAL! Chelsea lead! It's a lightning break as Hazard sprays it wide for Moses. The wing back marauds towards the box and lays it across for Pedro to take it in his stride and fire low past Heaton.

The first chance of the match falls to Chelsea. Costa sends Hazard racing into the area but the Belgian's low strike is easily held by Heaton.
5'
Great quote from Thierry Henry on the brilliance of Kante.
4'
Chelsea have settled quickly. Burnley have already retreated into their own half after that initial flurry.
3'
A lively surge right from the off from the hosts. Lots of hustle and bustle. It's the type of game where Kante and co should thrive breaking up the play and setting the Blues front trio on the attack.
2'
The Clarets have won their last five home Premier League games – they haven’t won six consecutively in the top-flight since November 1961 (eight in a row). Can they spring a surprise today and breathe a glimmer of hope into the title race?

DID YOU KNOW? Chelsea are 30 points better off after 24 Premier League games this season (59) than they were last season (29) and already have nine points more than they did at the end of last season (50).
13.20
Chelsea have won their last three top-flight trips to Turf Moor, last losing there in a top-flight encounter in August 1973 when they were beaten 1-0 by a Frank Casper goal.
13.10
Everyone EXPECTS Chelsea to win at Turf Moor - but Sean Dyche believes his team's spirit could be a significant factor in doing some damage to Antonio Conte's high-flyers.
13.07
CLARETS FORTRESS: Burnley have taken 28 of their 29 points this season from matches at Turf Moor, losing only to Swansea City on the opening day, Arsenal in October and Manchester City in November. Since then they have won seven successive home games in the Premier League and FA Cup.
13.02
Burnley boss Sean Dyche on the reverse fixture (Chelsea 3-0 Burnley): "It was early in the season and they played miles better than us on the day. Beyond this result we've morphed into a stronger unit with a bit more experience and knowledge of what the Premier League is about - it doesn't guarantee a result but it does give you a better chance."
13.00
Eden Hazard starts his 200th match for Chelsea in all competitions this afternoon. The Belgian has notched 14 goals in his last 28 Premier League appearances.
