Premier League returns after the international break with Chelsea travelling to Turf Moor to take on Scott Parker’s Burnley.
Currently struggling in 17th place, Burnley will host Chelsea, who are vying for a top-four spot in 3rd, in a Premier League clash at Turf Moor.
Burnley vs Chelsea Form and Head to Head
Burnley suffered a painful defeat at West Ham before the international break, leaving them above the relegation zone only on goal difference. Their last match saw them lose 3-2 away to the Hammers. The Clarets have struggled to maintain consistency, alternating between wins and losses in their recent games.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are back on track following last month's shock home defeat to Sunderland. The Blues are aiming for a third straight win to move within three points of league leaders Arsenal. Their last match saw them comfortably beat Wolves 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's away form has been strong, placing them third in the away standings. One fact to consider is that Burnley have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches in the Premier League.
The most recent encounter between these two teams ended in a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in March 2024 where Cole Palmer scored a brace for Chelsea. Josh Cullen and Dara O'Shea were on the scoresheet for Burnley.
Chelsea have dominated the last six meetings, winning four and drawing two against Burnley. The Blues have scored at least three goals in their last five away matches against the Clarets, and they have won their last six away matches against Burnley. Burnley have seen over 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 12 matches against Chelsea in all competitions.

Best odds available of 16/5 on Bet365.
Chelsea Win
Chelsea enter the match as clear favourites. They’ve won three of their last four games, showing real momentum and improved consistency, while Burnley come in on the back of consecutive defeats. Adding to that, the Clarets haven’t beaten Chelsea since August 2017, a long run that further tilts the advantage in Chelsea’s favour ahead of this fixture.
Over 2.5+ Goals in the Match
Chelsea arrive as deserved favourites, and goals look likely. Their last three meetings with Burnley have all produced over 3.5 goals, while Scott Parker’s side have conceded seven goals across their last three matches.
Caicedo 2.5+ Tackles in the Match
Caicedo has been a consistent ball-winner, clearing 2.5 tackles in seven of his last 10 league games and averaging 3.1 tackles per match this season.
Enzo Fernandez 1.5+ Shots in the Match
We also like Enzo Fernández to keep his shooting output high. The Argentine has taken two or more shots in his last five games, averaging 2.2 attempts per match, and he comes into this fixture fresh after not travelling for international duty.
