3 reasons why Chelsea will beat Burnley in the Premier League today

Phenomenal record vs lesser sides

While the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal have all come unstuck against so-called lesser sides in recent weeks, Chelsea haven’t had such troubles.

Conte’s men have played 16 games against the bottom 14 sides, and they have failed to win just one of them.

That was all the way back in September, where a late Diego Costa strike earned the Blues a 2-2 draw at the Liberty Stadium.

Other than that though, Chelsea have won all 15 games against the bottom 14 teams in the Premier League, scoring 37 goals and conceding just six.

It’s a phenomenal record, and one the Blues look set to continue on Sunday.
