Premier League leaders Chelsea travel to Burnley this afternoon (1.30pm kick-off) hoping to put distance between themselves and the chasing pack.

Antonio Conte’s men got the better of Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal 3-1 last time out to go nine points clear at the top, and the Blues will be hoping to clinch a 20th victory of the campaign at Turf Moor this afternoon.

However, it won’t be easy against Sean Dyche’s Clarets, given that they have won nine and drawn one of their 13 home league games this term, which is the third-best home record in the whole of the Premier League.

Burnley go into today’s encounter off the back of a frustrating 2-1 defeat at Watford last time out, but they know that they are a different side at Turf Moor, and will certainly provide the leaders with a stern test this afternoon.

Nonetheless, Chelsea go into the clash as heavy favourites to record an 11th away win of the season, and here are THREE reasons why they will clinch all three points this afternoon…
