PaddyPower Pre-Match Odds: Chelsea 1/4, Draw 5/1, Burnley 14/1

 

The Blues have had a mixed season but could end it on a high should they manage to secure a place in the top four.

That may prove easier said than done with Sean Dyche’s men still fighting to secure their Premier League status.

There are clear vulnerabilities in their camp which does suggest that this upcoming clash against Burnley may be a lot closer than first expected. 

 

With that in mind, the recommendation is to back the hosts but only to win by a slender margin of one goal. This bet is currently priced at ….
