Hazard was exceptional and set Chelsea on their way to victory with a superb opening goal as he raced from his own half before sending an exquisite finish into the bottom right corner. Manager Sean Dyche will be hoping that his team can show the same goal and industry against the Blues and pull off an upset, which will give them a good standing as they look to embark on their quest to stay up in the league.
“There’s a huge gulf between where we are as a club and this club, but when the whistle blows you want to be ready to perform, and we weren’t”.
Burnley, who lost their first match against Swansea at home, produced a stunning display in their second game against Liverpool, where they emerged 2-0 winners.
He said: “First half was probably as poor as we’ve been in a year, I think, but against a very strong group”.
Arsenal claimed their first Premier League win of the season with a 3-1 victory against Watford at Vicarage Road.
“I watched their performance against Liverpool and also against Swansea”, the Italian coach told reporters on Friday.
“Eden is a fantastic player, he is working very well with a great attitude”.
“When we start in this way you can work better and also the players can trust the work more”.
After being named PFA Player of the Year as Chelsea won the Premier League title in 2014-15, Hazard’s form significantly dipped during a woeful campaign for the club last term, failing to score a top-flight goal until April.
‘He’s tried to give us confidence, ‘ Hazard told Chelsea TV.
Antonio Conte and his men have looked pretty good this season and they are now two wins from two games and they will look to keep up that ideal Premier League record.
Chelsea has nine points from three league games with Conte, who moved to Chelsea after leading Italy to the European Championship quarterfinals.

He said: “I believe with this market it’s very hard”.
