Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea are two points off joint-leaders Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League, but did comfortably win 3-1 at home to BATE Borisov in the Europa League this week and have only dropped two points away from home so far.

It’s a big game for…
Joe Hart: Former England number one Joe Hart has only kept two clean sheets in nine league appearances this season, and will want to bounce back after conceding five on his return to the Etihad stadium last Saturday. With Tom Heaton back fit, the 31-year-old will want to avoid a similar display this Sunday against Chelsea not only for his team’s sake, but to keep his place in the starting XI also.
Weird stat…
10: If the Blues avoid defeat on Sunday, Maurizio Sarri will become the first Chelsea manager in the Premier League era to remain unbeaten throughout his first 10 games in charge.
Remember when…
Burnley stunned champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on the opening day of last season. After Gary Cahill was sent off for a reckless challenge early on, Sam Vokes’ double and Stephen Ward’s strike put Burnley 3-0 ahead at half-time. Chelsea clawed two goals back in the second-half, but Sean Dyche’s men held out for a famous win.
Player to watch…
Mateo Kovacic: Despite Ruben Loftus-Cheek netting a hat-trick in the Europa League this week and Ross Barkley’s good form, Maurizio Sarri is likely to stick with Mateo Kovacic who has impressed so far this season. Wearing Eden Hazard’s old number 17 shirt, the 24-year-old on loan from Real Madrid has similar traits to the Belgian, and his creativity and slickness complements the robustness and power of N’Golo Kante and Jorginho at the heart of Chelsea’s midfield.

GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-0 Arsenal (Milivojevic 45+1')
A rash challenge from Shkodran Mustafi on Cheikhou Kouyate following a corner and the referee has no option but to point to the spot.
Luka Milivojevic makes up for his error last weekend and places the ball right into the corner and sends Leno the wrong way
Half Time: Burnley 0-1 Chelsea
Another convincing half from Chelsea. They lead thanks to Alvaro Morata and in truth should have a few more if the Spaniard had been a little more clinical/
Pedro's injury has somewhat exacerbated the impact of Eden Hazard's absence, but Loftus-Cheek has done a good job on the left.
Burnley looked good early on but their threat petered out as the half went on. Can they rediscover it in the second half?
Half Time: Crystal Palace 1-0 Arsenal
A first goal of the season for Luka Milivojevic, Palace's first at home this season, has put the hosts into the lead, and they have fully deserved it.
Arsenal have looked shaky and that was no more evident when Mustafi lunged in unnecessarily on Kouyate.
All to do for Unai Emery as his side are behind for the first time since the opening day.
So, a shock for Unai Emery as he heads into half-time. His side have never led at half-time this season. Can his side respond?
And can Chelsea keep up their pressure at the top after a professional first-half performance?
Find out very shortly.
46 min: Crystal Palace 1-0 Arsenal
Change for Arsenal at the break.
Stephan Lichtsteiner comes on in a straight swap for Hector Bellerin. And we are back underway at Selhurst Park.
46 min: Burnley 0-1 Chelsea
We have kicked off again at Burnley as well.
50 min: Burnley 0-1 Chelsea
Burnley have begun the second half much like they began the first, but they'll need better end product if they are to cause Chelsea any problems.
GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-1 Arsenal (Xhaka 52')
What a hit. The Swiss catches the free-kick from the right with some force and Hennessey can only divert it with his fingertips onto the inside of the bar and in.
