Confident Chelsea Look To Reign Supreme At Turf Moor Against Gritty Burnley
The Burnley vs Chelsea should be an entertaining match because of how determined both the sets of players are to get three points for their side. The London giants have actually had a pretty great record against Burnley in recent years, having won three of their last five meetings against the Clarets and the last time Burnley defeated Chelsea was in 2017!
With three wins in their last four games, Chelsea are building up momentum but want to maintain consistency heading into some tricky fixtures. Enzo Maresca will need his side to be innovative with their attacking movement, especially using their quickness in the wide areas to create chances and put Burnley to the sword. The Clarets, however, will need to be defensively sturdy to frustrate the visitors and need to be clinical in finishing off their own chances to win this game.
Could Unpredictable Zian Flemming Inspire Burnley To Shock Win?
Burnley striker Zian Flemming appears to have picked up his form recently and he is starting to deliver in the key moments for the Clarets. The 27-year-old has now scored three goals in his last three appearances for Burnley and is coming up clutch in the final third to finish off chances clinically.
However, the Dutchman will need to be at his proactive best to be able to score past a relatively sturdy Chelsea backline. He needs to outwit the defenders with his clever movement and be especially ruthless in converting his chances to be able to guide Burnley to a big win over a major side.
In-Form Alejandro Garnacho Determined To Sink Shaky Clarets
Chelsea will definitely look to take the fight to Burnley in their upcoming game, after seeing the Clarets have conceded 22 goals in 11 Premier League games already. They will need to rely on their quickness in creating chances and moving the ball forward to really torment the Burnley defenders and cause them to make errors for them to pounce on.
Fortunately for Chelsea, they have some really in-form attacking players right now and that includes their summer signing, Alejandro Garnacho! The Argentine winger had provided two assists in their recent win over Wolves before the November (2025) international window and has a lot of momentum in his side. The Argentine will look to use his unpredictability and pace to march onto the final third and get into the key areas, but he needs to nail his pinpoint final third passes and shots to be able to guide his side to a big win.
