Ben Mee’s headed equaliser denied Chelsea a chance to extend
their lead at the summit of the Premier League after a Branislav
Ivanovic opener.
Ivanovic swept in Chelsea’s first goal in the opening quarter- his fourth goal in his last six games in all competitions.

Mee headed in Burnley’s equaliser nine minutes from time as the Blues
dropped point, while second-placed Manchester City await in the late
kickoff to take advantage.
Chelsea made five changes to the side that beat Everton last time on

Fabregas, Oscar and Diego Costa all returning.
Burnley was as they were in the 3-1 defeat at Manchester United last week.
