Burnley vs Chelsea prediction, H2H and probable lineups, November 22, 2025

Burnley welcome Chelsea to Turf Moor this weekend, and it honestly feels like one of those matches that could go either way. Chelsea are pushing for consistency under their new setup, while Burnley are scrapping for every point they can get. This one should be fun—fast, physical, and probably a bit chaotic too.

Form Guide

Burnley

Burnley have been unpredictable recently. Some games they look sharp and organized, and in others they struggle to keep up with the tempo. They’ve picked up a few important points at home, but their defensive lapses still hurt them in tight matches.

Chelsea

Chelsea looked a lot steadier in the last stretch before the international break. They’re not perfect yet, but their attack is finally showing signs of clicking. The big question is whether they can keep their momentum and not slip back into old habits.

Head-to-Head

Chelsea have dominated this fixture for years, usually finding a way to break Burnley down. Burnley have had a few surprising results at home though, especially when they manage to drag bigger teams into a physical battle. Still, on paper, Chelsea have the upper hand based on recent meetings.
