Stamford Bridge in London gears up to host the Matchweek 27 fixture of the English Premier League, featuring reigning world champions Chelsea and Burnley.

Liam Rosenior has had a good time so far at Stamford Bridge and would be keen to clinch another win at home.

Burnley are coming after a 3-2 win over reigning FA Cup champions Crystal Palace. At a time when their survival hopes are hanging by a thread, they have no option but to continue winning games. They are led by Scott Parker, who has previously been at the managerial helm of teams like Fulham and Bournemouth.
