FT
Full-time: What a result for Burnley, who have claimed a brilliant point at Chelsea! With 22 shots and almost 70 per cent possession, the Blues created enough chances to win two or three games. They remain three points clear at the top of the Premier League, but Liverpool - away to West Ham tomorrow - can close the gap to a single point.

90+2
Burnley have a corner to defend but it's an easy claim for Pope, who will hold onto the ball as long as he can.
90'
FOUR more minutes for Chelsea to find a winner!
88'
Pieters comes on for Cornet as Dyche looks to hang on for a precious point at Stamford Bridge.
86'
Chelsea are throwing everyone forward in desperate search of a winner, but Thiago Silva volleys over with their latest chance. Are they going to pass up the opportunity to go five points clear at the top of the Premier League?
84'
Mason Mount comes on for Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic replaces Kante.
83'
Chelsea force a corner but it comes to nothing. To hold on for a point, Burnley must face seven minutes of normal time plus whatever is added on.
80'
Chelsea have 10 minutes to get their act together. As it stands, their wastefulness is going to be punished. They have been in total control but failed to build on their lead.
79'
GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Burnley (Matej Vydra): Would you believe it! Burnley are level! Rodriguez peels off at the back post to cushion a header across goal to leave Vydra with a tap-in!

Burnley win a corner... a chance to test the home side's defence. Tarkowski attacks the delivery but can only find the side-netting.

That will be Barkley's last involvement as he's replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Over! Barkley has a great chance to cap an impressive performance with a goal when he collects on the edge of the box... but leans back and blazes it high over the bar!
70'
Sensing Burnley are still in this contest with 20 minutes to go, Dyche makes a brave substitution, replacing Gudmundsson with Matej Vydra.

Great save! Pope, almost single handedly, is keeping Burnley in this game! Hudson-Odoi with some quick feet creates the space for a shot but Burnley's goalkeeper is equal to it, somehow keeping it out with his foot!

Attempts so far: Chelsea 15-1 Burnley. Wow.

Jay Rodriguez replaces Wood in attack.
