>burnley drew 2-2 with Mancity.
>So Chelsea are not downgrading what the relegation bound Burnley can do.
Captain John Terry speaks in that regard:
"That's what it's all about - players digging deep at this time of year," he said. "We have been kind of lucky with injuries so far, but everyone got through the PSG game okay.
"We have a little bit of time, especially after the Burnley game, before we play the Capital One Cup final against Spurs. More importantly we are back in the Barclays Premier League this weekend for what is a massive three points.
"It is important we win and they [Burnley] have shown already at Man City that they're hungry and fighting. Where we and they are in the table means nothing. We will certainly be up for it."
