Chelsea will curtain raise the Premier League round 12 after the two-week FIFA international break as they travel to Turf Moor to lock horns with Burnley on Saturday afternoon.
The Enzo Maresca charges will be aiming to build on their current momentum, riding a four-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, including two in the Premier League.
A 3-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge before the break propelled the Blues into third place on the log with 20 points after 11 matches. They now sit six points behind leaders Arsenal (26) and just two above Manchester City (22).
The victory, sealed by goals from Malo Gusto, Joao Pedro, and Pedro Neto, secured back-to-back wins for Maresca’s side, who also edged Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby prior.
The Club World Champions will be seeking their seventh win this season as they continue to miss their lethal striker, Cole Palmer, who will still be unavailable on Saturday action.

A possible three points on the road would see the Blues temporarily climb to second on the table, as they await Manchester City’s trip to St. James’ Park to take on Newcastle United later in the evening.
On the other hand, the Clarets have endured a turbulent return to the top flight this season, having managed only three wins from their 11 games.
They reside just above the relegation zone in 17th place, thanks to a superior goal difference over West Ham United and just one point above 19th-placed Nottingham Forest.
Apart from the Hammers, Scott Parker’s side has also struggled defensively, having already conceded 22 goals while scoring just 14.
Their three wins comprise a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, an identical score line against Leeds United, and a 3-2 edging of bottom-placed Wolves.
They enter this clash looking to bounce back from consecutive losses – a 2-0 defeat to title-hopefuls Arsenal, followed by a narrow 3-2 setback against West Ham.
Against the Hammers, they took the lead through Zian Flemming, but Callum Wilson equalized before Tomas Soucek and Kyle Walker-Peters extended West Ham’s lead. A 97th-minute strike from Josh Cullen wasn’t enough to salvage a result.
Here are the key details for Saturday’s Premier League clash between Burnley and Chelsea.

Burnley vs Chelsea prediction and key betting stats
Chelsea have secured victories in five of their previous eight away Premier League fixtures.
They boast the third-best away record in the competition with 10 points from five games.
The Blues have won their last two Premier League away games without conceding. Only Manchester City (23) have scored more goals than Chelsea (21) this season.
Meanwhile, Burnley have lost four of their last six Premier League matches and have kept only two clean sheets in their last 31 league games.
Only West Ham (23) and Wolves (25) have conceded more than Burnley’s 22 this season.
This season, Burnley have registered the fewest shots (90), lowest possession (38.6%), and faced the most shots (192) in the league.
With these insights, Chelsea enter this encounter as the clear favorites to walk away with all three points.

Goals are expected in this match, as Burnley’s defense has been leaky, while Chelsea’s attack has been exceptional.
