Chelsea will face Burnley on late Monday night

Premier League is going through its last phase of the 2018-19 season as we have a Monday late-night fixture, where Chelsea welcome the Lancashire side, Burnley FC, at Stamford Bridge. Burnley haven't lost their last 3 Premier League matches, whereas Maurizio Sarri's side faced an abominable defeat against Liverpool last Sunday at Anfield.

The visitors hold the 16th position in the PL points table, as they have registered 39 points from 34 matches. On the other hand, The Blues stand 5th in the table with 66 points from 34 matches. Chelsea will be looking to get all three points, as those points could open the doors of next season's UEFA Champions League.

The English powerhouses like Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United are battling for the remaining Champions League places with only a few matches to play. Chelsea could finish in the top four if they keep winning, while any kind of dropping points could mar their Champions League hope.
