Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel heads into his second match in charge of the west London club seeking to avoid an upset and claim victory over battling Burnley.

Tuchel’s remit is to get Chelsea back into the top four before challenging for the Premier League title – yet Burnley could provide some discomfort on Sunday.

The Clarets have edged away from the drop zone in recent weeks and have played exactly half of their Premier League fixtures for this season as they near safety for another season.

Burnley will hope to avoid the 3-0 thrashing inflicted by Chelsea when these sides met back in October.

Yet while the Blues are not expected to be at their best as the dust continues to settle following Frank Lampard’s sacking earlier this week, they are still favourites to win here.

Our prediction: Chelsea v Burnley

Chelsea will still be finding their feet under new manager Tuchel come Sunday and Burnley may prove a tough, resilient opposition here.

Indeed, Dyche will have his men marshalled at the weekend and will hope to pinch a point from the trip to London, even if it means grinding out a goalless draw.

But the Blues should just edge it over 90 minutes. Tuchel can rely on a high-quality forward line to get the job done, while the Clarets are unlikely to offer much in attack themselves.

Our prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Burnley (6/1 at bet365)
