Burnley vs Chelsea: Team News, Prediction And Possible Lineups

Burnley vs Chelsea: Chelsea travels to Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon, aiming for their third successive victory in all competitions.

Team News:

Burnley are navigating the absence of Michael Obafemi (hamstring), Nathan Redmond (knock), and Darko Churlinov (blood poisoning).

However, Johann Berg Gudmundsson (calf), Manuel Benson (knock), and Hjalmar Ekdal (knee) might be fit to make the matchday roster this Saturday.

Bruun Larsen, after netting the decisive goal on Tuesday, might be vying for a starting spot in the Premier League’s attacking trio.

Nevertheless, the front three of Foster, Luca Koleosho, and Zeki Amdouni are expected to remain consistent.

On Chelsea’s end, Ben Chilwell is sidelined until December due to a hamstring injury.

He’ll be joined by Christopher Nkunku, Wesley Fofana (both knee), Romeo Lavia (ankle), and Marcus Bettinelli (unspecified) on the injury list.

Mudryk (thigh), Benoit Badiashile (hamstring), Trevoh Chalobah (thigh), and Carney Chukwuemeka (knee) will undergo evaluations before the match.

Prediction:

While injuries have affected Chelsea, Pochettino is likely to trust the younger players to step up and ensure a victory against Burnley.

This will set them up nicely for the international pause.

Similarly, Kompany remains optimistic for his team, bolstered by their recent midweek triumph.

We say: Burnley 0-1 Chelsea
