Chelsea vs Burnley Predictions

• Chelsea have scored at least three goals in five of their last seven matches.
• Burnley have the second-worst defensive record in the Premier League.

Blues hunting for top-four spot

Chelsea’s hunt for silverware continued last weekend as they thrashed Hull in the FA Cup, and they can produce another scintillating attacking display against a Burnley side that suffered a humiliating cup upset against Mansfield.

The Blues have now won seven of their last nine games and scored 21 goals as they continue to push for a top-four spot in the Premier League.

Championship-bound Clarets set to struggle

Burnley, who sit 19th in the Premier League standings and some nine points adrift of safety, have lost three of their last four and have picked up just eight points from 13 assignments on the road.

Despite putting in record-breaking defensive numbers in the Championship last term, they have the second-worst defensive record in the top flight and head to Stamford Bridge having conceded at least twice in each of their last five matches.

Chelsea could go one better, though. They have scored three or more in five of their last seven games and look good for another few on Saturday, while a third 3-1 win in this period looks a solid correct score option.

Joao Pedro looks a likely candidate to grab at least one of those goals after returning to the scoresheet against Leeds a couple of weeks ago, taking his tally to six goals in his last eight appearances.
