Sean Dyche urged his players to take control of their destiny and secure their Premier League survival at Chelsea.
The Clarets travel to Stamford Bridge knowing that avoiding defeat would all-but guarantee a fourth successive season in the top-flight, following Cardiff’s defeat to Liverpool on Easter Sunday.
A point would put them nine points clear of the Bluebirds, with a significantly better goal difference, while a repeat of last season’s opening day victory over the Blues would take away any lingering possibility of being caught.
And Dyche wants clear focus, as his players go in search of a fourth successive victory.
