Week 28 features a match on Saturday Mar 5th, where Burnley hosts Chelsea in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 4 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, Burnley recorded a 0-2 loss against Leicester City. James Maddison struck first for Leicester City in the 82nd minute on a feed from Jamie Vardy, then Jamie Vardy added another in the 90th minute on a feed from Harvey Barnes In the end, Burnley was frustrated by Leicester City’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Leicester City ended the match with the shutout victory. Burnley is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Chelsea recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Lille. Kai Havertz scored the first goal for Chelsea in the 8th minute, then Christian Pulišić added another in the 63rd minute In the end, Lille was frustrated by Chelsea’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Chelsea ended the match with the shutout victory. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Chelsea should be reasonably happy with their performance.
Chelsea and Burnley last played eachother at the Stamford Bridge on Nov 6th. Chelsea and Burnley battled to a 1-1 draw. Kai Havertz struck first for Chelsea in the 33rd minute, but Matěj Vydra got the equalizer for Burnley in the 80th minute earning them at least the one point.
Chelsea’s most prolific scorer has been Hakim Ziyech. The midfielder has netted 3 goals over the last five matches. Aaron Lennon and Josh Brownhill are the top scorers for Burnley in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Burnley will be without Jóhann Guðmundsson, Matěj Vydra, Ashley Westwood, Charlie Taylor, Wout Weghorst and James Tarkowski, while Hakim Ziyech and Reece James are unavailable to play for Thomas Tuchel’s team.
