Antonio Conte: This is why I'm worried about Chelsea's trip to Burnley
CHELSEA manager Antonio Conte believes Burnley are a serious threat at Turf Moor.
Antonio Conte worried about Burnley's home form
Chelsea, who sit nine points clear at the top of the Premier League, travel to Lancashire to face Burnley on Sunday (1.30pm).
Sean Dyche's side have been in sensational form at Turf Moor, picking up 28 of their 29 points on home soil.
And Conte knows his Chelsea players, who beat Arsenal 3-1 last time out, will need to be at their best to avoid a slip up against Burnley.

The Blues manager is also aware of Burnley's habit of scoring late on, having left it late in their last two home wins against champions Leicester and Southampton.
"It will be a real tough game," Conte said. "Burnley took 28 points at home and one point away. They won the last five games at home.
"They score a lot at the end of the game. The stats show that Burnley are a really strong team at home.
"They're third in the table for games at home. The first is Chelsea the second is Spurs and Burnley is third.
"We must pay great attention. They are in good form. They will want to beat us as we are top."
