Current form — Chelsea v. Burnley
The Blues look formidable
Chelsea keep brushing aside all resistance claiming yet another win to their collection last time out. Thomas Tuchel’s side look well suited to take on any opponent at the moment judging by their last 3 matches alone. They started off drawing 1-1 with Southampton, before downing first Newcastle by 3-0, then Malmoe FF in a 1-0 win.
The Clarets hope to boost points tally
It is difficult to point a finger at recent results for Burnley, as they have performed according to their level. Sean Dyche’s side have seen it all in their last 3 matches which brought home 4 points. An encounter with Southampton brought a 2-2 draw which was followed by a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham. Their most recent game had them back on the winning trail as they beat Brentford by a 3-1 scoreline.
Just limiting an expected defeat might be the target for Burnley here. Siding with the Blues at odds 1.25 is a no-brainer in the kind of form they are displaying.

Man of the Moment
Looking at the goalscorer market, Ben Chilwell and Reece James look like tempting options for Chelsea. The full-backs are in good form and have helped carry the goal burden amid injuries to strikers Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.
Burnley, meanwhile, will be looking to in-form Maxwel Cornet to find the net once again, as he has been their main man recently. The Ivorians has netted 4 goals for Burnley in their last 6 matches.
