Chelsea hoping to increase lead at the top after City’s slump at Burnley

Jose Mourinho’s team have a great chance to increase the lead at the top after City failed to get anything from Turf Moor.

Chelsea are in driving position in the league at the moment. With five points lead compared to second positioned Manchester City, Chelsea are yet to play two fixtures. If they can manage maximum points in both these encounters, they will go eleven points clear with nine games to play. With form they are in at the moment, the league title is all but formality for the West London side.

Mourinho will be without services of Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikle but will retain the services of Nemanja Matic in the midfield, which will also see omission of Ramires from the lineup. Juan Cuadrado might be preferred ahead of Willian as Mourinho seeks to rotate his squad towards the final quarter of the season. Diego Costa has not been in top notch lately and Mourinho might push Fabregas further forward after string of defensive performance from the midfielder.
