Burnley vs Chelsea match review, 7:30 p.m. November 22: The haunting loss of 8/9 matches at Turf Moor

VHO - Commentary on the match Burnley vs Chelsea, round 12 of the Premier League, a victory at Turf Moor will help coach Enzo Maresca and his team temporarily take second place in the table.

Burnley vs Chelsea form

Burnley have certainly felt the heat of the relegation battle. In the last two rounds, the Turf Moor team had to accept empty-handed results after defeats at the hands of Arsenal (0-2) and West Ham (2-3).

Having only collected 10 points after 11 rounds, Burnley are now only ahead of the relegation zone on goal difference. The risk of falling into the bottom quagmire is becoming greater for coach Scott Parker and his team as they have to face a very tough opponent this weekend.

In the past, home ground has never been a solid support for Burnley to put their trust in when facing Chelsea. Specifically, in the last 9 times hosting The Blues, the home team has only drawn 1 and lost 8, scoring only 7 and conceding 27 goals.

Burnley's current form at Turf Moor is not really good. In the last 5 times hosting guests, Anthony and his teammates have only won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3. Obviously, there are not many positive signs for coach Parker and his team to rely on other than mental strength.

Once the team with the best defense in the Championship (English First Division) last season, but when moving up to a higher level - the Premier League, Dubravka's steel wall in front of the goal became fragile.

After 11 games, Burnley have the third-worst defense in the league (22 goals conceded, an average of 2 goals per game). In their last 21 Premier League appearances, The Clarets have kept just 2 clean sheets.

On the other hand, Chelsea are determined to win. The London giants are currently ranked 3rd, 2 and 6 points behind the two teams above them, Man City and Arsenal. If they win, the team under coach Enzo Maresca will temporarily move up to 2nd place, and significantly narrow the gap with the top spot.

Chelsea will move up to second place if they win three points at Turf Moor.

In the context that both Arsenal and Man City have to face tough challenges in this round, Chelsea has more reason to try to leave Turf Moor with 3 full points, thereby creating significant pressure on two direct competitors.

The away team's form since the beginning of October has been quite stable. In the last 9 appearances in all competitions, Pedro Neto and his teammates have lost 1, drawn 1 and won 7. Of which, the last 5 away trips have seen The Blues remain unbeaten, winning 4.

Another interesting statistic adds to the confidence of the visitors from the capital. In the last 7 matches held at 12:30 pm on Saturday (local time), Chelsea have won all.
