Chelsea find themselves in the Premier League title conversation heading towards the end of November and they will be eager to add three points to their tally when they head to Turf Moor to face relegation-threatened Burnley on Saturday.

The Blues head to Lancashire in strong form, losing just one of their last nine matches in all competitions, while the Clarets are on a two-game losing run and may struggle to keep the visitors at bay.

Team news

Burnley remain without the services of long-term injury victims Zeki Amdouni, Connor Roberts and Jordan Beyer, who are all pencilled in for comebacks in 2026.

Armando Broja is also likely to miss out after he was stretchered off during Albania's 2-0 loss to England in the international break, while Quilindschy Hartman will be assessed following his withdrawal from the Netherlands squad because of illness.

Chelsea are still unavailable to call upon the services of Cole Palmer, who is nearing a return to fitness after a groin issue, while Romeo Lavia and Levi Colwill are both in the treatment room.

Benoit Badiashile is back in full training, but he is unlikely to be involved, while Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez are both expected to have recovered from their injuries after missing international duty.

The stats

Burnley have picked up just seven points at home this season, leaving just three teams below them in that department.

The Clarets have failed to beat Chelsea in the last 11 meetings (L8 D3).

Burnley have collected just one point from the last 10 home clashes against the Blues and last beat Chelsea at Turf Moor back in 1973.

Chelsea are eyeing a third-successive league win, following victories over Tottenham and Wolves.

Enzo Maresca's side have 10 points from five away fixtures this season, the third-best record in the division.

Prediction

Saturday's fixture is the start of a massive eight-day period for Chelsea, who host Barcelona in the Champions League three days after this clash, before then welcoming Arsenal to Stamford Bridge on the Sunday.

Maresca will demand his side pay full attention to this trip to Turf Moor and the visitors look capable of picking up the win, which they have done in six of the last eight meetings against the Clarets.

The Blues have impressed on their travels, amassing 10 points from the 15 on offer and they can overcome a Burnley side who have struggled at home and are on the slide after two defeats in a row.

But this does not mean Scott Parker's troops will not play their part in an entertaining affair and the hosts should be able to get on the scoresheet, something they have achieved in seven of their last eight matches.
