Burnley vs Chelsea - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Chelsea travel to Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon
- Both teams head into this fixture off the back of important wins
- Blues secured just second league win of the season away at Fulham
Buoyed by back-to-back wins, Chelsea head into Saturday's Premier League duel with Burnley in a brighter mood.
The Blues desperately needed three points at Fulham on Monday night, and two first-half goals in the space of 30 seconds ensured they secured an imperative triumph. It was a win that their underlying numbers suggested was coming.
After edging past Brighton in the Carabao Cup, Mauricio Pochettino's men now have the chance to win three on the bounce at an improving Burnley. The Clarets, too, notched a huge win at Luton in midweek and their uptick in form since the September international break has eased fears regarding an inevitable relegation.
Vincent Kompany's men are yet to claim a home win at the start of 2023/24, and this would be a great time to get the ball rolling.
Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming Premier League duel at Turf Moor.

Burnley vs Chelsea score prediction
Chelsea's win at Fulham was one they deserved given their misfortune in recent outings, and they'll be looking to carry that momentum into Saturday's game. With Burnley also improving since the September break, this could be an entertaining bout.
However, the Clarets have so far struggled on home soil, and the Blues new-found swagger could add to their woes. Pochettino's backline has started the season immensely, and the hosts will have their work cut out if they're to bypass the visitors staunch rearguard on Saturday.
Chelsea, meanwhile, undoubtedly have the verve in attack to pounce on a vulnerable Burnley defence. An away win is on the cards.
Prediction: Burnley 0-1 Chelsea
