Burnley vs Chelsea – Chelsea is back in the Premier League after competing in two different cup competitions in the last seven days. Tomorrow, they travel to Turf Moor to face relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League’s 28th round.
The Blues are in an excellent position in the race for a top-four finish, lying three points ahead of fourth-placed Manchester United with two games in hand. In the last two league games, they have kept clean sheets against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.
Thomas Tuchel possesses one of the division’s toughest defensive lines to break down. Following the return of Reece James, one of the top right-backs in the game, his back-five will be even stronger going ahead. It’s worth mentioning, however, that Chelsea has only won two of their last six league games on the road.
They’ll face a stiff test tonight against Burnley, who are still clinging to a slim hope of avoiding relegation to the division’s bottom three. With two wins and a tie in the last three Premier League rounds, the Clarets have moved away from the bottom of the table. Despite playing teams like Brighton, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace, they have only conceded one goal in these three games.
Burnley vs Chelsea – Hot stat:
Sean Dyche appears to have discovered the correct formula for keeping things tight defensively, as Burnley have been increasingly difficult to break through recently. We believe they have a good opportunity of keeping this a low-scoring match, similar to the one in which the Clarets held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge in November last year. The Under 2.5 goals FT is a good bet at 1.80 odds, while the draw is a good bet at 4.33 odds for the adventurous.
