Chelsea is looking to build on their recent victories, while Burnley aims to continue their momentum after securing their first win of the season. Here’s a comprehensive match preview, including team news and key statistics.
After an impressive Championship title win last season, Burnley has had a slow start to life back in the Premier League. However, they secured their first victory against Luton Town, and Vincent Kompany will hope this win sparks a resurgence. Burnley currently sits 18th in the Premier League.
On the other hand, Chelsea is seeking to cement their position in the top half of the Premier League table after a recent win against Fulham. Mauricio Pochettino’s team is 11th in the table, with eyes on European qualification.
Burnley: Michael Obafemi, Nathan Redmond, and Darko Churlinov are still unavailable due to injuries. Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Manuel Benson, and Hjalmar Ekdal are also sidelined. Burnley is expected to field a consistent lineup with Josh Brownhill, Josh Cullen, and Sander Berge in midfield.
Chelsea: Chelsea’s injury list includes Ben Chilwell, Christopher Nkunku, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, and Marcus Bettinelli. Benoit Badiashile, Trevoh Chalobah, and Carney Chukwuemeka will be assessed. Reece James is serving a one-game ban. Moises Caicedo and Mykhailo Mudryk are expected to feature in midfield.
Despite Chelsea’s injury concerns, they are expected to secure a slender victory against Burnley. The Clarets must improve their defense to avoid conceding goals, having already shipped 12 goals in four home games this season. The Blues’ strong record at Turf Moor suggests they will continue their winning streak.
Final Score Prediction: Burnley 0-1 Chelsea
In a bid to enter the international break on a high note, Chelsea will be motivated to secure all three points against Burnley.
