The Premier League is back, and the champions start their title defence on Saturday when they host a team considered to be relegation candidates. It might be expected to be a straightforward task for Chelsea, but one can hardly describe the game as the best of Saturday football fixtures odds. Burnley can be a tough team to beat, as the Blues must remember from the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge in 2015. Our Chelsea vs Burnley preview is not that simple at all.

The hosts had some disappointing results in the preseason and then proceeded to lose to Cup holders Arsenal in the Community Shield on penalties. That might have been an unlucky result, but the champions didn't play well, and the Gunners were the superior team throughout the 90 minutes that ended in a 1-1 draw. Add Antonio Conte's criticism of the transfer campaign so far, and you get a team that faces significant problems. That must influence our Chelsea vs Burnley predictions. The hosts are clear favourites, but they are not worth looking at with the odds extremely low, and we should explore other options for the Saturday football tips.

Chelsea vs Burnley Predictions and Betting Advice

While the hosts could face difficulties, one star is certain to try his best to find the solution. Alvaro Morata, signed from Real Madrid for €67million, is hungry for goals and desperate to find the net on his home debut for the new club. The Spaniard is a magnificent striker, but his first official game for the Blues ended in disappointment as he missed the crucial penalty against Arsenal in the shootout. This is a great opportunity to make amends, and the odds on Morata scoring are decent at 1.72 (the best at 10Bet). Therefore, these are our Chelsea vs Burnley betting tips.
