Chelsea V Burnley - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.Mikel still missing for ChelseaChelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel remains sidelined for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Burnley.Mikel has a knee injury and is at least two weeks away from full fitness, so misses the Stamford Bridge clash.Boss Jose Mourinho has otherwise reported a clean bill of health with no fresh injuries arising from the 1-1 draw with PSG.Burnley welcome Stephen Ward back into the squad for the first time in two-and-a-half months.The full-back has recovered from a fractured ankle suffered in the 1-1 draw against Newcastle at the start of December.Dean Marney has undergone successful surgery on his cruciate ligament injury yet he will be out until next season along with Kevin Long while Matt Taylor suffered a slight setback in his recovery from Achilles surgery but is back training with the squad again.Tom Heaton insists Burnley will not worry too much about the number of headed goals they are conceding.Of the 43 goals the Clarets have shipped in the Premier League this season, 16 have been headers, more than any other team.The weakness has cost them dearly over the past couple of games, with four of the five goals scored by West Brom and Manchester United being headers from corners.Burnley were arguably the better team in both games but picked up only a single point from a draw with West Brom in a match they had led 2-0.Goalkeeper Heaton said: "We don't think it's a major issue, we just need to tighten up a few little things, which we will do."We're certainly trying to avoid (becoming fixated on it), and we won't doThe facts are there in terms of it being something we need to look at, try to adjust and affect it a little bit, but at that point you put it to bed and you go out there and you still have to have the freedom and clarity to go and play and try to do the right things."Sometimes I've found in my career these things crop up
If you go in there and people are thinking about it, it can create more of an issue so we'll certainly try to avoid that."After last week's trip to Old Trafford, which ended in a 3-1 defeat, Burnley visit league leaders Chelsea on Saturday."We can take a lot of positives from the United away performance last week," said Heaton."It was frustrating not to come away with something after the way we played but, if we play like that over a prolonged period, then we'll get the results we want."We know Chelsea are a top side but we'll try to go about it in right manner and look to upset them."
