Burnley vs Chelsea Prediction and Betting Tips | 22nd November 2025

Burnley welcome Chelsea to Turf Moor on Sunday as Premier League action returns after the final international break of 2025. The moods in which both teams entered the latest break couldn’t be more different: while the Clarets suffered successive losses, the Blues picked up two wins on the trot in the top flight.

Since returning to the Premier League this season, Burnley have been unable to replicate the defensive rigidity that had become synonymous with them in the Championship. Under Scott Parker, they have been leaky at the back, conceding 22 goals so far this campaign.

Only West Ham United (23) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (25) have shipped in more. But Burnley have seldom gone down without a fight this season. In their last eight matches across all competitions, they have failed to score only once, in their 2-0 loss to Arsenal.

They will be looking to recover from a 3-2 loss to fellow relegation battlers West Ham United in their latest outing.

Meanwhile, Chelsea travel to Turf Moor on Saturday riding on the back of back-to-back wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. The Blues kept a clean sheet in each of those games. The two wins bookended a 2-2 draw with Qarabag FK in the UEFA Champions League.

Chelsea are currently third in the Premier League table, trailing leaders Arsenal by six points. Enzo Maresca's unit is navigating an injury crisis of sorts. Cole Palmer, Romeo Lavia, Dario Essugo and Levi Colwill are sidelined, while Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto and Benoit Badiashile are racing to be fit for Saturday.

Burnley vs Chelsea Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 11 Premier League meetings with Burnley, winning eight and drawing three.
• The last time the two sides locked horns in the English top flight was at Stamford Bridge in March 2024. The game ended in a 2-2 draw.
• Burnley have kept only two clean sheets in their last 31 Premier League matches.
• Chelsea have won all of their last seven Premier League matches that started at 12:30 pm (local time) on a Saturday.
• Maresca's men have been victorious in their last two away games in the top flight and have also kept clean sheets in both of those matches.

Burnley vs Chelsea Prediction

Burnley have not really struggled from a shortage of goals this season, with the in-form Zian Flemming spearheading their attack. The problem has been their leaky defence. Chelsea are equipped with enough firepower to exploit the Clarets' defensive vulnerabilities.

The Blues could be pardoned for taking a cautious approach to their Turf Moor visit with a high-profile Champions League contest with Barcelona on the horizon. Regardless, they should be able to secure all three points on Saturday.

Prediction: Burnley 1-3 Chelsea
