Burnley vs Chelsea: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Burnley vs Chelsea in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 12:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: Burnley vs Chelsea

• Date: Saturday, 22 November 2025

• Kick-off: 12:30 GMT

• Venue: Turf Moor

Burnley's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with two wins and three losses in their last five games. They've shown they can score goals, as seen in their victories against Wolves and Leeds, but their defence has been leaky, conceding three goals against West Ham. Chelsea, on the other hand, have been more consistent, winning four out of their last five matches. Their solid performances against Wolves and Tottenham suggest they'll be looking to control the game and exploit Burnley's defensive weaknesses.

Given Burnley's attacking flair and Chelsea's defensive solidity, we might see an open game with chances at both ends. Burnley will need to be clinical in front of goal, while Chelsea will aim to keep things tight at the back and hit on the counter. It's going to be a fascinating tactical battle, but Chelsea's recent form and squad depth might just give them the edge.

Burnley's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins and three losses in their last five games. Their victories against Wolves and Leeds show they can be dangerous going forward, but their defeats, particularly the 2-3 loss to West Ham, highlight defensive frailties. This inconsistency could make it challenging for them to face a strong Chelsea side, but if they can shore up their defence, they might just pull off a surprise.

• Loss: 0-2 vs Arsenal (H)
• Win: 3-2 vs Wolves (A)
• Win: 2-0 vs Leeds (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Aston Villa (A)

Chelsea have been in fine form, winning four out of their last five games. Their convincing victories against Wolves and Nottingham Forest, coupled with a solid performance against Tottenham, suggest they are hitting their stride at the right time. This momentum could be crucial against a Burnley side that has struggled defensively, and Chelsea will be looking to exploit this to secure another win.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 3-0 vs Wolves (H)
• Win: 1-0 vs Tottenham (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Sunderland (H)
• Win: 3-0 vs Nottingham Forest (A)

The head-to-head record between Burnley and Chelsea shows a clear dominance by Chelsea, with three wins and two draws in their last five encounters. Chelsea's most recent victory was a convincing 4-1 win at Burnley, while their last meeting ended in a 2-2 draw. This history suggests Chelsea will be confident going into this match, but Burnley will be looking to upset the odds.

Burnley's predicted lineup suggests a focus on attacking play, with Flemming leading the line and supported by a creative midfield. However, their recent defensive performances indicate they'll need to be more solid at the back to stand a chance against Chelsea.

Chelsea's predicted lineup shows a balanced approach, with a strong defensive core and attacking options like Joao Pedro and Delap. Their recent form suggests they'll look to control the game and hit Burnley on the counter, exploiting any defensive lapses.

• Flemming vs Chalobah: This will be a key battle between Burnley's attacking threat and Chelsea's solid defender.

• Cullen vs Fernandez (If fit): A midfield duel to watch, with Cullen's creativity up against Fernandez's defensive nous.
