Burnley and Chelsea both feel much better about themselves going into their Premier League match at Turf Moor on Saturday, though managers Vincent Kompany and Mauricio Pochettino know there is so much more still to do.
Chelsea had only recorded one win from their first six Premier League matches before their 2-0 away victory against rivals Fulham on Monday, with Mykhailo Mudryk scoring his first goal for the club and Armando Broja also finding the target.
Burnley got their first win of the season in their re-arranged fixture at Luton Town.
Lyle Foster scored his third goal of the Premier League season for Burnley, but after a late equaliser from Elijah Adebayo for the hosts, Kompany’s men were reliant on a dramatic and impressive winner from substitute Jacob Bruun Larsen to triumph 2-1.
Head-To-Head:
Burnley have won just one of their 16 Premier League matches against Chelsea, with 11 defeats in that troubling sequence.
Chelsea have historically dominated this fixture and were in their element the last time these two teams met in March 2022, romping to a 4-0 victory at Turf Moor under Thomas Tuchel.
And in terms of matches at Turf Moor, it’s an impressive seven wins from their last eight visits for Chelsea, with the other contest ending in a draw.
Match Date and Kickoff Time:
The Match begins at 3 p.m. on Saturday, 7 October at Turf Moor
