Burnley vs Chelsea: Tactical analysis

Chelsea can continue their hunt for the Premier League title with a win over Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday.

Antonio Conte’s side remain in top spot in the Premier League, following their 3-1 win over London rivals Arsenal last Saturday. Goals from Marcos Alonso, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas helped Chelsea beat Arsene Wenger’s side and remain nine points clear at the top of the league.

Burnley, Sunday’s opposition, currently sit in 12th place in the Premier League. Sean Dyche’s side have been very impressive at home so far this season and will hope to continue their home form with the league leaders coming to Turf Moor this weekend.

Earlier this season, Chelsea were routine winners over Burnley, winning 3-0 at Stamford Bridge. Hazard, Willian and Victor Moses were all on the scoresheet in the reverse fixture in August.

Ahead of Chelsea’s fixture away to Burnley coming up, we take a look at Burnley, and the possible threats they pose to Chelsea.
