All 14 Premier League meetings between these side have seen at least one goal scored in the first half, the most meetings between two teams in PL history to have seen at least one goal scored in the first 45 minutes in every match.

This will be Thomas Tuchel’s 30th Premier League match in charge of Chelsea. The Blues have kept 18 clean sheets since his first game in charge in January, four more than any other side, while only Jose Mourinho has ever kept more than 18 in his first 30 matches in charge in the competition (22).

Five of the six points Burnley have won in the Premier League against Chelsea have come at Stamford Bridge (W1 D2 L4). And, after winning just three of their first 30 PL matches in London (D4 L23), the Clarets have won five of their last eight trips to the capital.

Burnley’s Maxwel Cornet has scored four goals in his first five Premier League appearances. It is the joint-most goals scored in a player’s first five PL appearances when each appearance has come for a side starting the day in the relegation zone, equalling Demba Ba’s four in five for West Ham United in February and March 2011.
