Burnley Vs Chelsea Preview, Head-to-head

Chelsea will hope to make back-to-back wins when they take on Burnley in a Premier League showdown on Saturday afternoon before going for international break.

After an incredibly frustrating start to the season, Mauricio Pochettino’s side found some much-needed form on Monday night as they beat Fulham, having gone into the match just few points above the relegation zone.

With matches to come after the break against the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham and Newcastle, it is crucial that Chelsea ensure that victory at Craven Cottage was more than just a one-off.

Burnley have reason to be confident themselves having picked up their first Premier League win of the season in midweek against Luton. Vincent Kompany’s side are though yet to pick up any points on home soil.

While Chelsea benefitted from some poor Fulham defending in their win at Craven Cottage, a return to goalscoring form will be a relief for Pochettino.

There were plenty of positives in that display, while only Sheffield United have conceded more Premier League goals so far this season than Burnley. Chelsea can make it two wins on the bounce and keep the mood positive heading into a fortnight away from club football.
