Burnley believe to sell many tickets for this game despite that the season has been grim up to now with 4 points and a 18th position in the Premier League table. Guests Chelsea are in 11th place with 8 pts.

Insights:
  • Burnley have the most conceded goals in the first half (8) in Premier League

Little time to rest for the hosting team, as they were involved in a Premier League fixture only four days back. That game was an away game at Luton Town, so at least Burnley are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Burnley form and stats

0 victories, 0 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Burnley have to build on here at Turf Moor in the Premier League.

A strong away win for Burnley against Luton Town the last match, as Larsen and Foster were on target. Just what the doctor ordered, as that was the first league win after going winless in six consecutive fixtures. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Jackson when Larsen scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute. Midfielder Cullen was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.32 (out of ten) in that game. Cullen dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Newcastle United (0-2).

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Burnley here at Turf Moor in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games).

Chelsea form and stats

Chelsea are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

Two away matches in a row for Chelsea, whose manager Grau could celebrate last time after the win against Fulham. That victory felt good as this side had gone three league matches without victory. Colwill, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.05. Colwill served one assist, hit one key pass and won 8 of 11 duels.

Before that, the victory at home hosting Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup (1-0).

Some info for sports bettors looking to bet on only one (or no) side scoring in this fixture: This club have played 5 consecutive league games with just one or no team finding the net.

{3 goals} so far away for Chelsea, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 3 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Chelsea have not lost in the last 9 matches (7-2-0) against Burnley.
