Burnley will be desperate to get themselves a famous win at Turf Moor as they welcome a fallible but still strong Chelsea side to Lancashire in the Premier League this weekend.
Burnley have been stubborn to play against, following their promotion to the top-flight last season after finishing second in the Championship, but they have suffered gut-wrenching last-gasp defeats, too, to the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United.
Chelsea went into the November international break on the back of a 3-0 hammering of then manager-less and still winless Wolverhampton Wanderers. It wasn’t outright dominance but easy enough to ensure the inconsistent Blues remain in the top three in the Premier League.
Can Burnley finish the campaign strongly and build momentum? AllSportsPeople brings you this betting preview complete with the latest tips and odds.
Burnley vs. Chelsea: Who will win?
From a neutral’s perspective, Burnley will want to make sure this is a fairly tedious watch and the way Chelsea play, with a desire for dominance of the ball without reckless attacking abandon, could help them with that.
As has been the case against other so-called ‘big six’ sides, though, Chelsea will be expected to eventually pinch a victory at Turf Moor as they try to keep pace with Arsenal and Manchester City at the top-of-the-table.

Burnley vs. Chelsea Score Prediction
Burnley lack quality in the final third, albeit have been able to hurt teams around them. Up against stronger sides, though, with their very reactive and defensive style, they are unlikely to pose too much threat to the visitors and Chelsea should eventually get themselves over the line.
Prediction: Burnley 0-2 Chelsea (6.92 with Dafabet)
