Burnley striker Sam Vokes has hailed Eden Hazard as one of the best players in the world.

Vokes was full of praise for Hazard, who has been in impressive goalscoring form since the start of the season.

With Burnley set to face off against Chelsea at the weekend, Vokes will be hoping his side can contain Hazard on the day.

"He's top class," Vokes said to Sky Sports.

"He's one of the great players in the world, let alone in the Premier League so you have that respect for him going into the game, you see what he's about.

"I think when you step over the pitch at the weekend, it's 11v11 at the end of the day and it's us against them so we'll be playing it as any other game."
