austin halewood watched the action at stamford bridge. after a weekend of favourable results, the door was ajar for chelsea to break into the top four. but despite the heat of a scorching easter weekend, the blues came out cold. burnley‘s jeff hendrick with a screamer inside the first ten minutes. so chelsea needed a response and after passing a late fitness test, there was only one man to turn to. eden hazard with a trademark weaving run. n'golo kante on hand to finish. desperate not to miss out on champions league football for a second year, now chelsea were in the mood. a rocket from gonzalo higuain blasting them into the lead. but it wouldn't last long. for all of chelsea's attacking promise, their defence was letting them down. ashley barnes was left too open and the finish all too easy. a frantic 24 minutes, in the end, was as good as it got. cesar azpilicueta, the man to go closest in a quiet second half. a point enough to take burnley to the brink of premier league survival. but despite going fourth, for chelsea, an opportunity

you can see they've beaten them all, including that win at stamford bridge on the first day of last season, and that famous win over manchester united in their first season back in the top flight. those liverpool fans might also be interested to know that sean dyche is on their side. he said earlier in the year that he grew up as a distant liverpool fan in kettering, so he might want more of a say in this title race than you might expect. however, burnley have played city twice already this season and were hammered 5—0 on both occasions. both of those games at the etihad, including this in the fa cup fourth round. burnley have more or less secured premier league safety for next season now, and that's thanks to an upturn of results this calendar year, so the city boss won't underestimate them. we are preparing because this is the end of the season, last games, and everybody feels the pressure to win the games. but today, they are going to rest and tomorrow they're going to rest and tomorrow they're going to prepare what you have to do to ta ke to prepare what you have to do to take the ne
