Even though Burnley will probably play a 4-5-1 and try to get a win typical to their Man U victory, i think being back home and really hitting our stride gives us a 3-0 or 4-0 win.

Go Blues.

[Balls of Fire]

Is Zhirkov fit for this game?

Good to see Cole is back in training.

Beware of the Burnley. From what I've seen of their last two games, they work their tails off. We have the benefit of already seeing what they've done to United and Everton this year.

[Ben7021]

Guess we will see how they do away.

[Wrath]

The giant killers. Good thing we know that they do get results against bigger teams and hence will be wary. Predicting a 2-0 victory.

Did Derby somehow get relegated to Serie A?

oh shut up you.

I'm not changing the spelling now.

[nicephoras]

[yasik19]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Blue Celery]

Way to kick him when he's down nice. :D

Yas. You know I love you.

[The_ChelseaSupporter]

Lol ownage on the first page of the match day thread I love it. :p

Should be a great game too bad it's another early morning one. I need to start taking naps after these games.

[SteelShot]

Yas is totally right, this weekend has some kick ass games. Time to wake up early again for my Chelsea :)

[KumarsS]

Can't wait to finally catch a match now that I'm moved in and have internet.

Doubly pleasing to see Joey back in training. He's a star and I hope he shows what he's all about next weekend.

[sportscribe]

I think it's about that time for a big win.

5-0 Chelsea.

[Ben7021]

Would like to see another clean sheet. Despite our talent in the back we seem to have started off a little shaky on defense.

[Sheva7]

I hope Yura plays.

[LukeO]

Should be an easy game for Chelsea.

Even though Burnley beat Man United and Everton I don't think they are very strong away from home.

My prediction: Chelsea 3-0 Burnley

[Miguel Alvarez]

Fourth game of the season already. Hopefully a clean sheet and a couple of goals for us.

[Chelsea8-0Manu]

Too much optimism here

Prediction : Chelsea 1-2 Burnley
Scorers:
Chelsea - Cole 84
Burnley - Jensen 90+2 , Elliot 90+6
