Premier League 2019/20: Chelsea vs Burnley – tactical analysis

With every passing game, the presence of Liverpool seems to grow stronger. On the flip side, almost every historically “reliable” club continues to slip in form and that has created a battle near the fourth place.

Chelsea had an exhilarating start to the season  one that slowed down after the international break. However, with recent victories against Tottenham Spurs and Arsenal, it has boosted the Pensioner’s confidence as they looked to claim the fourth place as theirs.

Burnley, meanwhile, has had to contend with three straight losses that have left them too close to the relegation battles. In the past few seasons, Burnley has successfully come to Stamford Bridge and taken points away from the Blues. The Clarets looked to do the same in this exciting Premier League game.

In our tactical analysis, we provide you with the tactics of both Chelsea and Burnley. Additionally, we will provide in-depth analysis as to how and why Chelsea beat Burnley 3-0.
