Only on Tuesday, October 3rd, in a rescheduled match of the second round, Burnley fans finally saw their team secure their first victory of the season. In a challenging away match, they managed to snatch a win from Premier League newcomer Luton Town (1:2). As a result, after seven rounds, the Clarets are in 18th place. A tough battle for survival lies ahead. It’s worth noting their regular defensive failures, as they have conceded 16 goals in seven matches. Only Sheffield United has allowed opponents to score more goals. Burnley has been unable to keep a clean sheet in any Premier League match so far, further exacerbated by personnel losses. Today, midfielder Johann Gudmundsson and forwards Benson Manuel and Nathan Redmond will not take the field.
Chelsea has secured two consecutive victories, which is a significant success for the team. First, they managed to defeat Brighton with a minimal score of 1-0 at home in the League Cup Round of 16. Then, in the Premier League, they won 2-0 away against Fulham. However, in the league table, the Blues are currently in 11th place, trailing the European qualification zone by seven points. The gap to the top four is even larger, at eight points. It’s worth noting that matches involving Chelsea have been the lowest-scoring in the Premier League so far. Maurizio Pochettino’s team has scored seven goals and conceded only six. In terms of defense, only Manchester City has been more reliable (conceding five goals). Today, forward Christopher Nkunku and defender Ben Chilwell, who are injured, will not play. Defender Malo Gusto is suspended.
