Burnley eager to end run of successive defeats as Chelsea visit looms.

Following defeat to the Hammers just before the international break, the Clarets take on the Blues in this early-kickoff clash, hoping to put an end to a run of successive defeats. Burnley vs. Chelsea kicks off at 12:30 [GMT] on Saturday, November 22, at Turf Moor.

Newly promoted Burnley welcome Chelsea to Turf Moor for this early kick-off clash scheduled on Saturday. The Clarets have endured a difficult spell at home, losing 50% of their last six matches at Turf Moor. Their defensive record remains a major concern, with the team conceding an average of 2.00 goals per league fixture this season. However, there are positives to build on despite the recent home struggles. The team have avoided defeat in 49 of their last 59 matches across all competitions, a reminder that they are generally far more resilient than their league position may suggest. They have also been involved in more open, high-scoring matches lately, with over 2.5 goals in four of their last six games, showing that they remain a threat going forward despite their defensive issues. With legs well rested, the newly promoted side will be looking to put an end to back-to-back defeats [LWWLL] following a disappointing 3-2 loss to West Ham just before the international break. Zian Flemming is expected at the attacking end of Burnley’s 4—2—3—1 formation.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have been far stronger on their travels, registering four wins in their last six away games and showing improved consistency under pressure away from Stamford Bridge. When looking at recent head-to-head encounters between the two clubs, Chelsea have been overwhelmingly dominant. Burnley have lost four of the last six Premier League meetings between the sides, and the Blues haven’t been beaten by Burnley in any of their last eleven league games. Extending the trend even further, Chelsea are unbeaten in 18 of their last 19 matches against Burnley across all competitions, emphasising just how one-sided this fixture has been over the past decade. Chelsea’s record at Turf Moor is particularly impressive. They arrive on a remarkable streak of six consecutive away victories against Burnley in the Premier League, scoring at least two goals in every single one of those matches. Their attack appears well placed to continue that run, too, given that Chelsea have scored two or more goals in 67% of their last six matches overall. Still, Turf Moor has produced its share of surprises over the years, and Burnley will hope that home support can inspire a performance capable of halting Chelsea’s long run of success in this matchup. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Liam Delap in attack may be seen against Brighton.
