46 We are off and running once again at Stamford Bridge.

1351 A quick email as the players come back on to the pitch: My name is Pádraig Brosnan from Ireland and I am a Chelsea fan. It has been all Chelsea so far. I was delighted they scored just before half-time. If Chelsea score the next goal, they have the 3 points.

1345 Sean Merrick from Saudi says: Still think Chelsea to squeeze another, but not before a few scares from Burnley.

Burnley look doomed as Sky Bet make them 100/1 to claim the three points after their late setback before the break. Chelsea are 1/33 while a draw is priced up at 12/1. Martin Paterson missed Burnley's best chance and is 20/1 to bag the next goal while the dangerous Drogba is 7/2 to do the same. It is 5/6 for over 2.5 goals in what has been a very open match.

45+2 The whistle goes for the break and Burnley must feel a bitt aggrieved that they could not have held on to 0-0 for just a few more seconds.
