After a losing effort in their last game against Mansfield Town in FA Cup action, Burnley will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Burnley had 64% possession and 22 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Burnley was Josh Laurent (21'). At the other end, Mansfield Town had 8 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Rhys Oates (53') and Louis Reed (80') scored for Mansfield Town.

The stats tell the story, and Burnley have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, conceding 12 goals in all. In defence, Burnley have seen their frailties exposed. Let’s find out if that trend will be sustained in this game.

Their previous form shows that Burnley:

• have not won against Chelsea in games played away from home for the previous 5 league matches. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• haven't been defeated by Chelsea in away games against them for the last 2 league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Chelsea

It seems likely that The Blues should employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game with Robert Sanchez, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Malo Gusto, Moises Caicedo, Andrey Santos, Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro.

🗞️ Team News: Burnley

We are inclined to think that The Clarets seem likely to utilise a 3-4-3 lineup by sending out Martin Dubravka, Josh Laurent, Joe Worrall, Maxime Esteve, Kyle Walker, Lesley Ugochukwu, Hannibal Mejbri, Bashir Humphreys, Marcus Edwards, Zian Flemming and Jaidon Anthony.

🔮 Prediction

It seems to us that Burnley will do really well to find the back of the net against a Chelsea outfit who will more than likely win pretty easily here.

We are anticipating a convincing 3-0 winning margin for Chelsea at the end of the 90 minutes.
