Chris Sutton and Paul Merson make Chelsea vs Burnley predictions as 'messy' claim made
Chelsea aim to secure Champions League qualification while Burnley fight relegation, sitting nine points from safety with key injuries impacting both squads.
On Saturday, Chelsea host Burnley at Stamford Bridge with kick-off at 3 p.m. GMT, as Rosenior urges the team to remain consistent for a win.
After last week’s draw that cost them ground, Chelsea’s surrendered 2-0 lead to Leeds harmed their Champions League hopes, while Burnley sit 19th, nine points from safety in relegation battle.
Marc Cucurella remains sidelined with a hamstring complaint, and Jorrel Hato is the likely replacement; Jamie Gittens, Levi Colwill and Mykhailo Mudryk are absent while Roméo Lavia nears a return.
BBC Sport’s Chris Sutton and SportsKeeda’s Paul Merson offered predictions, including 'I can't see anything but a Chelsea win here' ahead of the match.
João Pedro has six goals since Rosenior’s arrival, and Moisés Caicedo continues to provide steady defensive contributions.
