Match report: Burnley 0-3 Chelsea
Premier League: Hakim Ziyech was among the goals as Chelsea piled more hurt on a Burnley side that didn’t muster a single shot on target. Paul Wilson was there.
Frank Lampard speaks ...
“It was a very complete performance from us,@ the Chelsea manager tells Sky Sportds. @It’s a difficult place to come. They make it very difficult for teams and they’ve been unlucky in games. We controlled massive parts of the game, so I’m very happy.
On how his team are finally finding their groove: “I was always aware at the start of the season that it wasn’t going to be easy. It was asking a lot for us to fly out of the blocks, but performances like this show that we’re doing something positive. We need to get our heads down and keep working hard.”
On an excellent performance from Hakim Ziyech: “I’m really impressed and really excited. I could see his personality and work-rate off the ball, he has that. You saw that today. That bit of quality gives us something different.”

Early team news
Burnley may be without their Icelandic midfielder Johann Berg Gudmundsson, who was to be assessed this morning after suffering a calf strain against Tottenham on Monday night. Burnley defenders Erik Pieters, Phil Bardsley and Ben Mee are all sidelined with injury, while midfielder Jack Cork is also out.
By contrast, Frank Lampard has no major injury concerns, with central defender Thiago Silva expected to be available for selection after missing out on Chelsea’s midweek trip to Russia. Lampard has described his squad are “a tired group” after their Champions League adventures and his staff will factor in fatigue before settling on their line-up.
Premier League Burnley v Chelsea
Five games into the season and with just a solitary point to show for their efforts so far, Burnley host Chelsea at Turf Moor in the top flight’s sole 3pm kick-off this Saturday afternoon.
Having scored only three goals, Sean Dyche’s team will have to find a way through a defence that has kept three consecutive clean sheets following a shaky start to the season, while Chelsea’s increasingly impressive array of attacking talent will fancy their chances of making hay against a Burnley rearguard that has only one top flight shut-out in the current campaign and is missing key personnel through injury.
Kick-off is at 3pm (GMT), but stay tuned in the meantime for team news and build-up.
Thank football it's Saturday
Welcome along to today’s clockwatch, where the main focus will be on Burnley’s top flight match against Chelsea, while keeping an eye on the state of play in the divisions below ... time and events at Turf Moor permitting. It’s another busy day on Planet Football, so stay tuned for team news, build-up and post-match reaction as the afternoon unravels.
