Chelsea vs Burnley Match Overview – 21.02.2026
The world champions Chelsea continue their quest to a Top 4 finish in the English Premier League. On Saturday the Blues will host Burnley at their own Stamford Bridge. That’s a game from the 27th round of the competition. Let’s preview it in our Accurate football score predictions today.
Chelsea had a chance to overtake Manchester United in Top 4, but a disappointing 2-2 draw against Leeds at home left them at 5th place. Now the manager Liam Rosenior has to motivate his players again to do the job – there’s no room for mistake here. Chelsea are just one point behind the 4th Manchester United.
Burnley are having other problems at the moment. They are in the relegation zone and 9 points behind the 17th Nottingham Forest. For them it’d be very difficult to survive the season – that’s for sure.
Chelsea News & Analysis
Liam Rosenior has to analyse what his team did wrong during the 2-2 draw against Leeds at the Stamford Bridge. The Blues had two goals advantage, but allowed the opponent to equalise. That’s not something Chelsea has to allow to happen again.
In their last game at the FA Cup Chelsea did much better – a 4-0 win against Hull City away from home. That’s what Rosenior wants to see from his team. Pedro Neto opened the score for the Blues while it was him again to double the lead. Estevao and Pedro Neto again finished the job. It was a hat-trick for Neto – he was the hero of the game.
Enzo Fernandez shall return to the line-up against Burnley. The Argentine international started from the bench against Hull. Meanwhile Estevao could start as well after his solid performance in the FA Cup game.
Burnley News & Analysis
Burnley have won four of their Premier League games this season. That’s certainly not what the fans want to see from their favourite team. Scott Parker won its last match at least – 3-2 against Crystal Palace away from home. A bit surprising, but sweet indeed.
In the FA Cup Burnley failed miserably – a 1-2 home defeat against Mansfield. Josh Laurent opened the score for Parker’s team, but the hosts allowed the visiting team to turn it around. It was another disappointment for the fans.
