Pre-Match Analysis:

It was another disappointing outing from the Blues against a struggling Burnley side who came to Stamford Bridge with one win in their last 12 games. And from the beginning, Chelsea kept piling on the pressure on the visitors who sat back and played on the counter. CFC played majority of the game against 10 men of the Clarets and took the lead twice but continuous lapse of concentration meant that the home side could only take a point from the game. As for Man United, who played against the Bees, they were very lucky to come away with a point as they got peppered away from home and had the woodwork to thank a handful of times. In total the Red Devils faced 31 shots and could only muster 11 shots for themselves but almost got away with it as they opened the scoring in the 96th minute only to concede a couple of minutes later with the last kick of the game.
