Burnley vs Chelsea LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest score and goal updates today
Mauricio Pochettino’s side finally appear to be building a bit of momentum ahead of the international break as they head to Turf Moor looking for a third consecutive win, across all competitions. Fulham were put to the sword last time out in the Premier League and another win today will see them move into the half before the season pause.
The hard work is far from over for the Blues, though, despite Mykhaylo Mudryk and Armando Broja’s goals last week, with a number of players still out injured and a tough fixture list to come, while today’s opponents are also coasting on the crest of a wave after picking up their first win of the season last time out thanks to beating Luton.
Nicolas Jackson is available for Chelsea, but Broja deserves another chance, while Raheem Sterling has a point to prove after again being snubbed by England manager Gareth Southgate. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Malik Ouzia at Turf Moor.
Live updates
18 mins: It’s been a familiar match for Chelsea so far.
Lots of possession, but a real struggle to turn that into clear-cut chances. Fair to say it’s not the first time that has been an issue for the Blues over the last 12 months…

Well then. Nice play from Burnley in midfield to take Colwill out of the game on halfway and from there Chelsea were always struggling to get cover across.
Terrific play from Lyle Foster in the build-up – Burnley have scored seven league goals now this season and he’s either scored or assisted five of them.
GOAL! Burnley 1-0 Chelsea | Odobert 15′
But Burnley take the lead!
Chelsea have been on top but they are behind now, Foster driving forward with the ball and sliding it to Odobert.
Shifts it onto his left foot, drills the finish low beyond Sanchez.
14 mins: Almost!
As close as we’ve come to the opening goal. Great effort from Sterling, who cuts in off the left wing as he skips past Vitinho.
Curled towards that far corner, just wide.
12 mins: Well worked from Burnley, play their way out under pressure and the space opens up for them in midfield.
Comes wide to Tresor on the right, it’s a terrible pass straight out of play.
8 mins: Smart turn from Palmer, works the ball onto his left foot and the space opens up for him.
He’s 25 yards out, looks to whip a strike into that far corner. High and wide.

I know they’ve been playing like it for ages now under Vincent Kompany but this is my first time up at Turf Moor and there is something slightly unsettling about a Burnley side taking goal-kicks with both centre-halves asking for it inside the six-yard box.
5 mins: Both sides very comfortable playing out from the back, not scared to take risks.
Chelsea seeing plenty of the ball early on, Burnley content to sit back in their shape and let the Blues’ centre-backs have it.
2 mins: Great chance for Chelsea to break from the Chelsea counter, Foster with space to drive into.
Tries to slide it wide to Odobert, but it’s badly underhit and Caicedo can easily intercept. A real waste, that.

Some very audible boos as the players take the knee ahead of kick-off, for all the majority did their best to drown it out with applause.
