  • Burnley lost both games against Chelsea during their only previous Premier League season (2009/10).
  • Burnley allowed fewer shots on target against them than any other team in the Championship last season (159).
  • Jose Mourinho has seen Chelsea win on all five opening weekends that he has been manager.

  • Chelsea have won more points than any other team on the opening weekend of Premier League seasons (47).

PREDICTIONS

With a formidable squad, Chelsea are tipped to win this. Seeing the goals that has been scored in preseason and the bets on him scoring in this match, the signing of Cesc Fabregas, is really sinking in now. Costa is an amazing number 9,  and not forgetting Drogba is back. It however would not be a walk in the park for them, but Chelsea should seal this with a 2:1 at final whistle.
