Chelsea Visit Burnley With Second Place in Sight at Saturday’s Early Kickoff

Maresca must manage fitness with Barcelona then Arsenal at Stamford Bridge next week.

Overview

  • Chelsea travel to Turf Moor on Saturday, November 22, for a 12:30pm UK kickoff, with live TV coverage on TNT Sports and streaming on Discovery+.
  • Chelsea sit third and can move up to second with a win, while Burnley are 17th after back-to-back league defeats.
  • Injury picture for Chelsea remains largely unchanged: Cole Palmer is sidelined, Romeo Lavia is out, and Benoît Badiashilé is back in training but unlikely to feature.
  • The Met Office issued a yellow warning for Storm Claudia in parts of the North, but Lancashire was not covered at the time of reporting, with wet and windy conditions possible rather than a likely postponement.
  • Selection calls under discussion include Reece James or Malo Gusto at right-back and whether teenager Estevão starts, with Peter Bankes appointed referee and Rob Jones on VAR.
