Chelsea secured back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since March after coming from behind to thrash Burnley 4-1 on Saturday.

Looking to end a run of four successive home defeats on their return to the top flight this season, promoted Burnley raced into a 15th-minute lead, Wilson Odobert scoring his first goal in English football to stun the visitors.

Chelsea offered little in response until Ameen Al Dakhil put through his own net in the most unfortunate circumstances three minutes before the break to get Mauricio Pochettino’s team back level.

The visitors completed the turnaround early in the second half, Cole Palmer converting from the spot after Raheem Sterling had been fouled in the penalty area.

A fine Sterling goal and a fourth from substitute Nicolas Jackson put the game beyond the hosts, lifting Chelsea to ninth in the standings, with Burnley remaining in the relegation zone with only one win this season.

Burnley manager Kompany could become the fourth manager to lose his first five Premier League home games in charge, after Mick McCarthy in 2003, Terry Connor in 2012 and Chris Ramsey in 2015. Kompany would be the first to do so from the start of a campaign. Both teams are on the pitch and are ready to get the game started.

Chelsea make one alteration to the team that beat Fulham in their last match. Mudryk scored against the Cottagers but is replaced by Sterling. Jackson is back in the squad after his suspension for accumulating five yellow cards.

Burnley vs Chelsea

Chelsea have had an indifferent start to the campaign under new manager Mauricio Pochettino and are currently 11th in the Premier League with eight points in their seven matches. The Blues ended their three-game winless run with a comfortable 2-0 win over Fulham in their last game, with their only other triumph in the top-flight coming against newly promoted Luton. They will be focusing on securing a place in European football next season but are currently five points behind West Ham, who are in seventh position. However, Chelsea will be confident that they can secure another win against Burnley as they have been victorious in seven of their last eight fixtures at Turf Moor, drawing the other one. No team has played more away games against an opponent in the competition without losing.

Burnley vs Chelsea

Burnley beat Luton Town in their previous Premier League match to secure their first top-flight win since gaining promotion from the Championship. Elijah Adebayo scored in the 84th minute to cancel out Lyle Foster’s opener, only for Jacob Bruun Larsen to curl in a superb winner 65 seconds later. Vincent Kompany’s men had lost five of their six games before their away victory, with their only point coming in a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest. Burnley will be looking to secure back-to-back wins but must improve their form at Turf Moor. They have been defeated in all four of their home games this season; only four teams in top-flight history have ever lost their first five on home soil in a single campaign – Manchester United in 1930-31, Portsmouth in 2009-10, Bolton Wanderers in 2011-12 and Newcastle United in 2018-19.
