Pre-match review Burnley vs Chelsea
Burnley recently moved clear of the Premier League relegation zone thanks to two wins over Leeds and Wolverhampton (2-0 and 3-2). Scott Parker's side showed they can compete for a higher position. However, no one expected more from Burnley. They are still considered candidates for relegation.
Especially against clubs in the top 10 leagues, Burnley's results have been disappointing. They lost to MU, Liverpool and Arsenal. At Turf Moor, the Lancashire team showed remarkable resilience. But they often made individual mistakes.
Burnley’s style of play is simple. They focus on defending well before relying on a few standout players up front. Burnley’s best player in the last four games has been Zian Flemming. During that time, Flemming has scored three goals, two of which came against Wolverhampton.
That double earned the Dutchman the Man of the Match award. Flemming has scored four goals in all competitions this season and will be the mainstay for Burnley to dream about when they meet Chelsea tonight.
Form, history of confrontation Burnley vs Chelsea
Chelsea, after a 3-0 win over Wolverhampton in the Premier League, moved up to third in the table. Enzo Maresca's side extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to four games. In total, the Blues have dropped points only twice in nine games. One of those was a draw with Qarabag in the Champions League, where manager Maresca fielded a reserve team.
The highlight of Chelsea's recent rise has been Joao Pedro. He is on the way to regaining his peak form at the beginning of the season. Chelsea's summer signing has contributed 4 goals (2 assists and 2 assists) in the last 3 matches. One of them was the decisive goal in the 1-0 victory over Tottenham.
In the context of Cole Palmer's long-term absence, The Blues need such contributions. And tonight, they also need luck against Burnley, as in the last 10 meetings with Burnley in the Premier League, Chelsea have never suffered a defeat. Burnley have only won points from The Blues 3 times, all of which were draws. The remaining 7 matches ended with victories belonging to the London team. If there are no big shocks, Chelsea will pocket 3 points to chase Arsenal.
Burnley vs Chelsea expected lineup
Burnley: Dubravka; Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman; Florentino, Cullen; Bruun Larsen, Ugochukwu, Anthony; Fleming
Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Fofana, Cucurella; James, Caicedo; Estevao, Pedro, Garnacho; Delap
Score prediction: Burnley 1-3 Chelsea
