The Premier League round of seven is set to continue this weekend with Burnley hosting Chelsea at the Turf Moor.
Their 1-0 defeat against Tottenham left the Clarets with just one point from five matches and they face another tough task in Saturday’s clash.
Burnley defended very well; it was unfortunate they lost to Spurs and will hope fortune is on their side this weekend.
Chelsea delivered a commanding Champions League performance to seal a fantastic 4-0 win at Krasnodar on Wednesday, but previously played poorly creating very little in last weekend’s barren draw with Manchester United.

Burnley vs. Chelsea Prediction
Chelsea to win
Burnley must pull-up their socks and start improving their results soon unless they risk becoming early candidates for relegation, but there are certainly not expected to do so against a Chelsea side loaded with confidence following a exhorted Champions League win, and we can only see the Blues traveling for all three points on Saturday.
