Marking their return from November’s international break on Saturday lunchtime, Chelsea will travel to Turf Moor when they meet Burnley.
Heading into the fortnight interval in the midst of what had become an extended flurry, Enzo Maresca’s men will be relishing a trip to Lancashire this weekend and they have a golden opportunity to skyrocket themselves into silver medal position.
While Burnley might have only made their Premier League return this season, the Clarets have a real job on their hands in the race to keep hold of their top-flight status this time around and they look set for another stern examination here.
Two sides who find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Premier League table, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Burnley vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips.
The Blues looking to make a statement
Last seen heading into November’s international break with a dominant 3-0 victory at home against Wolves, Chelsea will certainly be dreaming of a repeat performance when they travel to Lancashire this weekend.
Despite suffering a major collapse in west London on October 25th as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Premier League newcomers Sunderland, it appears that was just a minor blip for Maresca’s men.
Getting November underway with a deserved 1-0 win away at historic local rivals Tottenham, Chelsea have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous nine appearances across all competitions.
Collecting a heavyweight scalp last month as they snatched a last-gasp 2-1 victory against reigning Premier League champions Liverpool, the former Leicester boss should be smelling a golden opportunity here.
It should also be highlighted, the Blues are unbeaten in all of their last 11 consecutive meetings against Burnley across all competitions (eight wins, three draws).

Burnley destined for another relegation scrap
While Burnley might have signed off October with back-to-back Premier League victories, it appears that was just a minor boost for Scott Parker’s top-flight returners.
Last seen heading into November’s fortnight interval with a rollercoaster 3-2 loss away at fellow strugglers West Ham, it already seems inevitable that Saturday’s hosts are destined for another relegation scrap this season.
Watching their EFL Cup adventure come to a shock end on September 23rd following a 2-1 defeat at home against League One outfit Cardiff, the former Fulham boss has a real job on his hands in Lancashire.
Including a 5-1 drumming against Manchester City on September 27th, Burnley have lost five of their previous seven appearances across all competitions.
Showing some extended defensive issues and already conceding 22 Premier League goals so far this season, Parker’s camp look set for another stern examination when they return to Turf Moor here.

Pedro to play a leading role
Arriving from Brighton over the summer following a £60million move, Joao Pedro has certainly gained plenty of initial plaudits since arriving at Stamford Bridge.
Finding the net against Wolves prior to the fortnight interval and earning a sixth international cap while away with Brazil last week, the 24-year-old has quickly cemented his spot as Maresca’s leading number nine in west London.
Bagging the winner away at Spurs on November 1st, Chelsea’s new striking superstar has got on the scoresheet in consecutive Premier League appearances and will be looking to carry on from where he left off prior to November’s international break.
In fact, Pedro has registered seven direct goal contributions in his first 11 Premier League appearances (four goals, three assists).
Meeting a Burnley defence that has already shipped 22 Premier League strike and holding the third-worst defensive tally among England’s elite, Pedro will be confident of stealing centre stage at Turf Moor.
