Chelsea Aims for Away Streak Against Struggling Burnley

Burnley's history against Chelsea in the Premier League is bleak, with just one win in 18 meetings. The Clarets have particularly struggled at home against the Blues, who have won their last six away games at Turf Moor, scoring at least three goals in five of those. This season, Burnley finds itself at the bottom of statistical charts, showing the fewest shots, lowest expected goals, and least possession, while facing the most shots and having the highest expected goals against.

Chelsea, conversely, is in strong away form, having won their last two league matches on the road without conceding. The team also boasts an impressive record in early Saturday kick-offs, with seven consecutive victories. Player statistics highlight potential goalscorers for both sides, with João Pedro in good scoring form for Chelsea and Zian Flemming showing promise for Burnley, though historical head-to-head records for these players against Burnley are noted.

The match presents a significant statistical disparity, with Burnley ranking poorest in multiple key performance indicators. Chelsea's historical dominance in away fixtures against Burnley, coupled with their recent clean sheets on the road, sets them up as strong favorites. The game also features a potential milestone for Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho, who could become the youngest South American to reach 100 Premier League appearances.
