Burnley must look to Gray's pace if they are to upset Chelsea

Burnley will not be expected to cause a shock result at Chelsea on Saturday, but the pace of Andre Gray is a serious threat that could cause problems to Antonio Conte's side.

Gray has been charged with misconduct by the FA for homophobic tweets posted four years ago. The striker, who has apologised, faces a suspension but, because he has until Aug. 31 to formally respond to the charge, he is set to be available for the Stamford Bridge clash.

Chelsea have recorded wins in both of their two Premier League games so far, but both victories came thanks to late Diego Costa winners and, in midweek, Bristol Rovers showed in the EFL Cup that Chelsea can be vulnerable at the back.
