Burnley News and Form – Can the Clarets beat Chelsea?
The Clarets lost 2-1 at Leicester last weekend, unable to hold on to a lead in the game. Burnley have produced well at home this season though, winning three of their four home games this season (L1). They have taken back to back wins at Turf Moor, both of those games with clean sheets too. The one home loss that Burnley have suffered this season was against Liverpool.
It just the three goals that Burnley have conceded at home this season. Those were all in their defeat against Liverpool. So that’s three clean sheets in four, which is a superb return from Sean Dyche’s men. It is a five-match scoring streak in the league that Burnley are sitting on at the moment and they have scored at an average of 1.5 per home game this season. Two-thirds of their home goals this season have been after the halftime break.
Burnley have opened the scoring in five league fixtures this season. Only four teams have a better home record than Burnley this season in the top flight. So that is a big positive for them and it means that they should be well in this fixture. They aren’t likely going to give Chelsea an easy evening. Striker Chirs Wood has four goals in his last five Premier League appearances, and he has opened the scoring in two of Burnley’s last four fixtures.

Chelsea News and Form – Can Chelsea keep winning streak going?
A three-match winning streak for Chelsea has left them in a good position in the league and they seem to have settled down very well. They took a 1-0 home victory over Newcastle last weekend. That is four wins in their last five league games now, the one exception in that run of form being a loss against Liverpool. The Blues have a W3 L1 away record this season and have netted in each of their last three away from the Bridge.
Chelsea have scored at least three goals in each of their last three away games in the league. But they are yet to stick up a clean sheet on their travels in this campaign. So their goalscoring stats are high, but if you look at the teams that they faced away from home, all four of them are currently down in the bottom half of the table. So the Blues can probably expect a tougher challenger against Burnley who are eighth.
Chelsea have averaged 3 goals per away game this season and all four of their road fixtures have ended up over 3.5 goals. Both teams have scored in three of their four away games in this campaign. The Blues have also been leading at halftime in half of their road games, netting two-thirds of their away goals in the first half of matches. The Blues have scored in each of their last eight league games, opening the scoring in all but two league games this season.
