JAKARTA - Week eight of the English Premier League 2023/2024 will bring together Burnley vs Chelsea at the Turf Moor Stadium on Saturday, October 7 at 21.00 WIB.

Ahead of the meeting, both Burnley and Chelsea were in a contrasting situation. However, both teams are on a mission to rise.

Burnley as the host, will host Chelsea with confidence. Because last week they just secured their first Premier League win of the season by crushing Luton 2-1.

Currently Burnley is stranded in 18th position in the standings. Even so, last week's victory could be a spark of enthusiasm to prolong the positive trend against Chelsea.

In the visitors' camp, Chelsea also had the same capital to visit Burnley's headquarters. The Blues brought a 2-0 win over Fulham from last week's game.

Chelsea's victory also brought them up to 11th place with eight points. Not only that, but the additional three points last week also cut off the bad trend of Chelsea, which in the previous three weeks had never won.

Both teams have strong capital ahead of this match, but Burnley will benefit slightly because of their status as hosts in this match.

Although Chelsea's name is bigger, in the match Burnley can take advantage of the gap through the absence of a number of Chelsea top players such as Ben Chilwell to Moises Caicedo who are injured.

On the other hand, Burnley must also be vigilant if they look at the record that they have never won in the last five meetings against Chelsea.
