Meanwhile, Chelsea, who many predict will go on to win the title, will be looking to continue their run of opening day wins, after having not lost a game since the opening day of the 1998 season.

Blues striker Didier Drogba is doubtful for the game, but new signings Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa and Filipe Luis could all be in line for a start. Manager Jose Mourinho has never lost an opening game during both his spells as manager of Chelsea.

Stat of the Match: Burnley has not beaten Chelsea in the top flight of English football for 41 years.

What Managers Say

Jose Mourinho (Chelsea): "We need more quality in our football. When you have matches with space and time it's much easier to play football. When you don't have space and time because a lot of football is based around tactics and systems: in a very simple way, everything depends on space and time."

Sean Dyche (Burnley): "We're demanding and I think we played some very good football last season, we had some great times, so it can be done. Obviously now we've come to a whole different level. The Championship is unbelievably competitive but, with all due respect, there's not the quality of the Premier League."
