Showing their predisposition for eventful encounters, we’ve had goals 24 times in the previous 6 games in which Chelsea have sent out their troops, giving a mean average of 4 goals each meeting. Opposing teams have got 8 of this grand total. Such a trend isn’t assured to follow through into this match, however.

Coming into this contest, Chelsea have not been beaten in their last 2 league matches away from home.

🗞️ Team News: Burnley

It’s our opinion that The Clarets may well kick off with a 3-2-4-1 formation for this one featuring Martin Dubravka, Josh Laurent, Axel Tuanzebe, Maxime Esteve, Kyle Walker, Quilindschy Hartman, Lesley Ugochukwu, Josh Cullen, Florentino, Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming.

📋 Team News: Chelsea

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has not got a full squad to pick from. Roméo Lavia (Muscle strain), Cole Palmer (Groin problems), Dário Essugo (surgery) and Levi Colwill (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

From our viewpoint, The Blues seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Robert Sanchez, Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Cucurella, Reece James, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto, Joao Pedro, Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap.

💭 Prediction

We believe that Burnley could well find it tough to register a score against this Chelsea outfit who we think should score & stay on top.

Our tip is therefore for a narrow 0-1 win for Chelsea when the referee blows for full-time.

It should be a good one.
