The Blues head to Turf Moor third in the Premier League with 20 points, six points behind leaders Arsenal and two off Manchester City, while Burnley are 17th with 10 points from 11 games.

Head-to-head

Chelsea have lost one of our 18 Premier League games against Burnley (12 wins, five draws), a 3-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge on the opening day of the 2017/18 campaign.

We have won eight of our nine Premier League away games against Burnley (including the last six), drawing the other, scoring at least twice in each victory. Only at Bolton Wanderers (nine between 2004 and 2011) and Sunderland (nine between 2003 and 2013) have we won more consecutively in the competition.

The Blues are unbeaten at Turf Moor since losing 3-0 in April 1983 in the old Second Division. We last lost a top-flight encounter at Turf Moor in August 1973, when Dave Sexton was in charge. We were beaten by an 80th-minute Frank Casper goal in the old First Division.

Burnley have not kept a clean sheet in any of their 18 Premier League games against Chelsea. The Clarets’ last top-flight clean sheet against the Blues was in a 1-0 win in August 1973, with Alan Stevenson in goal for them that day.

We have kept a clean sheet in three of our past five away matches at Turf Moor.
