As the Premier League returns, Burnley could hardly have wished for a more challenging assignment than hosting Chelsea at Turf Moor. With both sides entering the clash under contrasting circumstances, Saturday’s 12:30 PM kick-off promises tension, intensity, and potentially plenty of goals.
🏁 Match Overview
Burnley’s survival mission hit turbulence just before the international break. After starting the last four-game window with two crucial wins over direct relegation rivals, back-to-back losses against Arsenal and, more painfully, West Ham, dragged Vincent Kompany’s men closer to the drop zone.
Chelsea, on the other hand, was building momentum before the break, winning two straight league matches to nil. Despite an unexpected slip-up against newly-promoted Sunderland, the Blues remain dangerous—especially against struggling teams.
🔥 Current Form Guide
Burnley
- Form: W2, L2 in the last four Premier League games
- Have faced an exceptionally tough schedule—by this weekend, they will have played all top 8 sides within the first 12 rounds.
- All five home games this season have finished under 2.5 goals.
- Have conceded three of four home goals before half-time
- Only one win all season (vs Sunderland)
The Clarets’ biggest issue remains creativity and goal-scoring, with new signing Lesley Ugochukwu surprisingly second in shots attempted for the team.
Chelsea
- Five-match unbeaten away run (W4, D1)
- Eight of nine away fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.
- Scored a league-high eight second-half away goals

Chelsea look better tactically under Enzo Maresca, though injuries—especially to Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández, and Pedro Neto—remain a concern.
📊 Head-to-Head: Turf Moor Trouble for Burnley
Burnley’s record against Chelsea at home makes grim reading:
- Only Liverpool has beaten Burnley more times in the PL at Turf Moor
- Chelsea are unbeaten in their last nine visits.
- The Blues have scored 3+ goals in five straight trips to Burnley
This fixture has historically been one-way traffic—and the trends point strongly in that direction again.
👀 Key Players to Watch
