Craig Pawson will be the man in the middle when Chelsea travel to Burnley on Sunday afternoon
Currently two points behind Man City and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, the Blues will be hoping to get back to winning ways when they travel to Turf Moor
Sean Dyche's side, who are currently 13th in the table, have only won twice in the league so far this campaign and go into the game on the back of a 5-0 drubbing against Man City
Although the Clarets did produce a major shock by winning at Stamford Bridge on the opening day of last season, they have yet to beat Chelsea at home during their time in the Premier League
Well, that record could well continue given that Pawson will be in charge in Lancashire
In charge of 12 of Burnley's games in the past, including the 3-2 victory at Chelsea last season, the Clarets have only registered one win at home in the league with the South Yorkshire official as referee
That win came on Boxing Day in 2016 following a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough, although they did record a 6-3 victory over Burton Albion in the League Cup in August 2011
While Burnley have lost four of their six Premier League games with Pawson as referee, Chelsea, on the other hand, have won five of their 10 games, including the 3-0 win at Southampton last time out
In fact, the Blues have won three of their last four games away from home in all competitions with the 39-year-old in charge
Fingers crossed Maurizio Sarri's side can make that four wins from five come 3.30pm on Sunday afternoon
Ian Hussin and Richard West will be Pawson's assistants at Turf Moor, with Lee Mason the fourth official
