Biggest Chelsea win 6-2 at Stamford Bridge (2022-23 season)

The implication: Burnley’s defensive resilience at Stamford Bridge has been a rare commodity for over 50 years.

The most recent Premier League fixture between the sides was played on 22 November 2025 at Turf Moor. Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory, continuing their unbeaten run against Burnley that now stretches to 14 matches (Sports Mole).

Has Chelsea ever lost to Burnley?

When did Burnley last beat Chelsea?

Yes – but only once in 19 Premier League meetings. Burnley’s sole top-flight victory over Chelsea came on the opening day of the 2017-18 season, a stunning 3-2 win at Stamford Bridge (Sports Mole). That remains Burnley’s only Premier League win against Chelsea in the entire head-to-head.

Since then, Chelsea have gone 13 games without defeat, winning nine and drawing four (Chelsea FC).

Why this matters

For Burnley, that 2017 result is a psychological touchstone – a reminder that even the biggest mismatches can produce an upset. For Chelsea, it’s an anomaly that fuels an increasingly dominant record.

How many goals have Chelsea scored vs Burnley in the Premier League?

Wins 13 1
Draws 5 5
Goals scored 48 16
Biggest win 6-2 (2022-23) 3-2 (2017-18)

The pattern is clear: Chelsea’s dominance at home and away is almost total. The only real question is whether Burnley can narrow the gap through defensive organisation.

Why is Cole Palmer not playing for Chelsea?

Is Cole Palmer injured for the Burnley match?

Cole Palmer was absent from Chelsea’s squad for the November 2025 match against Burnley due to an undisclosed injury, as reported by Chelsea’s official pre-match team news (Chelsea FC). The exact nature of the injury has not been made public.

Palmer’s absence was notable given his role as Chelsea’s creative spark in the 2025-26 season. Without him, Chelsea still managed to win the match 2-0, suggesting squad depth compensated.

What to watch

If Palmer’s injury persists into the next meeting, Burnley may face a less fluid Chelsea attack. But given Chelsea’s record without him in this fixture, the odds still favour the Blues.

What is the predicted score for Burnley vs Chelsea?

What are the odds for Burnley vs Chelsea?

Based on historical data and current form, Chelsea enter any future match against Burnley as heavy favourites. The Blues have won 13 of 19 meetings and have not lost since 2017. Burnley, sitting 19th in the Premier League, have shown defensive resilience but struggle to create chances against top-half sides.

Bookmakers typically price Chelsea at around 1.40 to win, with Burnley at 7.50 and the draw at 4.50. A 2-0 or 1-0 scoreline is the most common outcome in this fixture (WhoScored).

The implication: Burnley’s best chance of a positive result is a low-scoring draw, but Chelsea’s away form at Turf Moor makes even that unlikely.
