Chelsea vs Burnley – LIVE!
Chelsea host Burnley in the Premier League this afternoon as they look to mount a late-season charge for European football. The Blues beat Leicester in their last match a fortnight ago, to reach the FA Cup semi-finals, but it was a tense atmosphere at Stamford Bridge as fans made their anger towards Mauricio Pochettino clear.
The Chelsea boss therefore remains under a fair bit of pressure, with his team sitting 11th in the table heading into the final weeks of the season. While it has been a largely inconsistent campaign, home form has been good for Chelsea in recent weeks, losing just one match at Stamford Bridge in any competition since October. Ben Chilwell is added to the injury list for the Blues, while Raheem Sterling drops to the bench after his poor display against Leicester.
Burnley’s win over Brentford last time out means they are now within five points of Luton in 17th, but avoiding relegation remains an uphill battle. Vincent Kompany’s side have won just twice on the road in the League all season. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below, featuring expert analysis from Nizaar Kinsella at the ground!
Chelsea vs Burnley latest news
Live updates
Goals not exactly flying in across the Premier League.
Work for Tottenham to do, they trail Luton at the break. Bad news for Burnley in terms of the relegation battle.
And that’s half-time.
Really entertaining match, and one Chelsea are firmly in control of after that Palmer panenka and Assignon red card.
Up to that point, it had been right in the balance, with plenty of chances at both ends.
45+6 mins: Burnley really need half-time.
Gusto bursts into the box, should cut the ball back to Palmer but goes for goal from a tight angle. Muric makes the save.
45+4 mins: Referee has been very card happy.
Gallagher booked for a high foot on Taylor, before Cullen catches Caicedo late and earns himself a yellow card too.
Chelsea gifted a soft penalty and red card leaving Burnley furious.
A match changing moment has gone against Vincent Kompany, who was sent off. The debate will run on about that.
But Chelsea should win now barring any real madness. An outstanding panenka penalty from Cole Palmer makes it 1-0.
45+1 mins: Seven minutes added on after the long VAR checks we have had.
Big, big ask for Burnley now, who had been playing so well.
Palmer makes no mistake!
He was made to wait but he’s as cool as ever from the penalty spot, dinking a panenka down the middle!
Kompany shown that red card… but he’s not moving!
Still he complains to the fourth official, he is absolutely furious with the penalty call.
Penalty stands!
Not sure about that. Incredibly harsh to give that as a penalty.
Kompany is sent off too, for his reaction to the decision.
That seems very, very harsh.
Touch on the back of Mudryk, who then launched himself to the ground. Kompany is furious.
VAR checking…
