Hard to know what to expect: Chris Sutton gives prediction on Burnley vs Chelsea

BBC pundit, Chris Sutton has shared his thoughts on Chelsea’s upcoming clash with Burnley in the Premier League.

Both sides are set to meet on Saturday afternoon, just after Tottenham’s trip to Luton Town in the early kick-off.

Chelsea go into the encounter the more confident side after picking up two wins on the bounce, but Sutton is adamant that Burnley, who earned their first win of the season earlier in the week, will not be an easy test for the Blues.

He said: “Both of these teams are looking to build on much-needed positive results this week, but it’s hard to know what to expect from them.

“Chelsea’s win over Fulham on Monday was their first league win since August, but the question now is whether they can follow up that result and find some consistency.

“Scoring goals has been the Blues’ biggest problem recently, so it was important for them that Mykhailo Mudryk finally got off the mark against Fulham.

“Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino spoke about doing extra sessions with Mudryk when he was struggling to find the net, including using the ‘crossbar challenge’ to try to build his confidence. It seems to have worked, and now they must hope he is fit to face Burnley too.

“The Clarets’ victory at Luton on Tuesday had been coming, based on what I’ve seen of them, and they probably felt like they deserved it after such a tough start to the season.

“Vincent Kompany’s side have lost four out of four at Turf Moor so far, so even a point would be a step in the right direction for them. It smells like a draw to me.”

Sutton’s final prediction: Burnley 1 vs 1 Chelsea
