Chelsea vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League updates44’ GOAL! Cole Palmer converts penalty for Blues [CHE 1-0 BUR]
43’ RED! Assignon is sent off for Clarets, while boss Kompany also given marching orders!
Chelsea FC 1 - 0 Burnley FC
Chelsea vs Burnley15:58
Palmer's penalty separates the sides at the break, with Chelsea beating 10-man Burnley 1-0. The Blues were dominant in the first half, and they thought they'd taken the lead through Disasi 20 minutes in, but the goal was disallowed as it went in off his elbow. Muric made some great saves to deny Fernandez and Jackson before things went downhill for Burnley. Assignon brought down Mudryk in the box, and the referee pointed to the spot and gave the Frenchman his second yellow of the game. Kompany was also sent off for dissent before Palmer scored a wonderful Panenka penalty to put his side in front.

HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 1-0 BURNLEY.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:53
GOOD SAVE! Gusto has shown a real threat down the right all game so far, and he advances forward from right-back once more. He takes on a shot himself this time, but Muric makes himself big to smother it.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:52
Burnley are sitting deeper than they were earlier in the game, allowing Chelsea to keep possession in front of them. The Blues are staying patient though, trying to draw them out.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:49
Yellow Card Joshua Jon Cullen
Chelsea vs Burnley15:49
The board has now gone up to show that we're in seven minutes of stoppage time at the end of the half. Burnley have a free-kick that Bruun Larsen curls into the far post, but Esteve nods it across goal and wide.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:46
Yellow Card Conor John Gallagher
Chelsea vs Burnley15:46
Substitution Mohamed Zeki Amdouni Charles James Taylor
Chelsea vs Burnley15:45
KOMPANY IS SENT OFF! The Burnley manager is not happy with the penalty and red card decisions, and he is making that point first to the fourth official and then to the referee. He crosses a line with his protests, and he is also shown a red card, much to the home fans' amusement.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:45
Penalty Goal Cole Jermaine Palmer
Chelsea vs Burnley15:44
VAR has a long look at the penalty incident, but they don't see anything wrong with the referee's onfield decision. The penalty stands, but Assignon is still refusing to leave the pitch.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:43
PENALTY TO CHELSEA! Mudryk is racing onto a throughball into the box, and Assignon gets back into position. The ball gets away from the Ukrainian, and the defender puts his arm on Mudryk's shoulder to nudge him down. The referee points to the spot!
Chelsea vs Burnley15:42
CHANCE! Palmer's throughball is just too heavy for Caicedo, but it runs out to Gusto on the right. He fizzes a low cross into the middle, and Cucurella throws himself forward to meet it with his head. It's straight at Muric though.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:41
Yellow 2nd/RC Lorenz Assignon
Chelsea vs Burnley15:38
Petrovic makes an easy save from Bruun Larsen's free-kick and sends it long upfield. Jackson races out to the left to meet it, with Muric also rushing out of his box. The forward just gets there first, but the goalkeeper recovers well to poke it away for a corner.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:37
Cucurella steps across Assignon to block his run, and though there isn't a lot of contact, the Spaniard knew what he was doing. He gives away a free-kick, and gets a booking.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:37
SAVE! It's a hopeful clearance upfield, but Jackson latches onto it with a bursting run down the right. He cuts inside to lose Vitinho before laying it off to Mudryk, but he tries to guide it into the net, leaving Muric with a comfortable save.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:34
Cucurella is looking for a forward pass, but there's no movement ahead of him. Assignon quickly closes him down, and Chelsea are forced all the way back to the goalkeeper, much to the fans' frustration.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:32
Chelsea have scored at least once in all 17 of their Premier League games against Burnley, the most they've ever faced a side while scoring 100 per cent of the time in the competition.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:31
Burnley have really struggled to deal with the threat that Chelsea are posing down their right. Gusto drives to the byline before pulling it back to Jackson, who can't sort his feet out quickly enough to have a shot.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:27
SAVE! Assignon's long throw is allowed all the way through to Cullen on the edge of the D, and he quickly adjusts himself to shoot. He drills his low shot through the crowd, but Petrovic gets down to hold onto it.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:26
Chelsea push forward in numbers once more, and the space just opens up for Gallagher through the middle. A deflection off O'Shea takes it neatly into Muric's gloves, and Palmer is furious, as he was completely unmarked to his right.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:25
NO GOAL! After a very long look at the goal from all angles, it appears that Disasi didn't get his head to the ball, and as it came off his line, the goal will be ruled out. Still 0-0!
Chelsea vs Burnley15:24
DISASI SCORES! The corner was taken short to Mudryk, and he whips a dangerous cross in from the left. Berge gets the deftest of touches at the near post, but can only help it onto Disasi, who bundles it over the line from close range. There is a VAR check though, and this might not count...
Chelsea vs Burnley15:24
The initial VAR check was to see if Mudryk was offside, but once that's cleared, they look to see if the final touch by Disasi was off his arm. He ducked his head to try and head it, but it does look like the ball went in off his elbow.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:21
Assist Mykhailo Mudryk
Chelsea vs Burnley15:20
GREAT SAVE! Chelsea work it wonderfully down their right side again, and this time, Palmer tries to turn provider. He threads it through to Jackson, who hits his low shot across goal towards the far post, but Muric stays big, making a big block with his foot.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:19
BLOCK! It's a great throughball down the right by Caicedo, and Gusto surges down the wing to meet it. He pulls it back to Palmer, who hits his shot first time, but O'Shea makes sure he's in the way of it.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:17
Yellow Card Lorenz Assignon
Chelsea vs Burnley15:16
GOOD SAVE! Just like Palmer, Odobert has been bright so far, and he cuts inside from the left. As Gusto closes him down, the winger uses him as a shield to curl a shot towards the far post, but Petrovic gets a strong hand to it.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:16
CHANCE! Palmer is causing all sorts of problems in the opening exchanges here, as he plays a one-two with Gallagher to open up space on the right of the box. He doesn't hit the shot cleanly though, hitting it wide of the near post once more.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:13
WIDE! Amdouni is caught on the ball by Caicedo, and the midfielder rolls it into Palmer's feet. He isn't short on confidence as he takes on another pacy shot from range, but he fires this one wide of the near post.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:11
GREAT SAVE! Chelsea finally manage to string together enough passes to get to the edge of the box, and Gallagher squares it across to Fernandez. His shot takes an awkward deflection off Esteve, but Muric adjusts quickly to tip it onto the bar.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:10
WIDE! Seconds after Bruun Larsen bundled a shot wide, it's switched back out to the Dane on the right of the box. The angle is against him though, and he fizzes his low effort just wide of the far post.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:09
Berge wants it more than Mudryk, and though Chelsea want a free-kick, the midfielder won it cleanly. Burnley have another chance to push forward, but Vitinho's throughball is too heavy for Odobert.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:07
Chelsea are a bit sluggish in defence, and Gallagher trips Cullen to give away a free-kick through the middle. Bruun Larsen takes it, but his shot is straight at the wall, and it deflects out for a corner.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:05
It's a positive run down the left by Odobert as he weaves between Chelsea players before pulling it back from the byline. Disasi scuffs it away, but the Blues only get to the halfway line before losing possession.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:03
CHANCE! Chelsea are looking to make a quick start to this game, and Gallagher spreads it out to Palmer on the left. He has options in the middle, but chooses to go it alone instead, firing his shot into the side netting.
Chelsea vs Burnley15:02
Bruun Larsen gets the game under way for Burnley!
Chelsea vs Burnley15:01
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!
Chelsea vs Burnley15:01
Vincent Kompany makes just two changes from their win over Brentford two weeks ago. Amdouni and Foster are brought in to partner up front, while Odobert and Vitinho both drop back into deeper roles. Taylor starts on the bench, but in-form David Datro Fofana isn't available today as he's ineligible to face his parent club.
Chelsea vs Burnley14:56
Mauricio Pochettino makes three changes to the side that beat Leicester in the FA Cup before the international break. Petrovic is back in goal, with Badiashile and Fernandez also coming in. Gusto has recovered from illness to retain his place, but Sterling drops to the bench. There are more injury troubles for the Blues as well, as Robert Sanchez, Trevoh Chalobah and Ben Chilwell have all picked up problems which keep them out today.
Chelsea vs Burnley14:51
BURNLEY SUBS: Manuel Benson, James Trafford, Charlie Taylor, Johann Gudmundsson, Hjalmar Ekdal, Jay Rodriguez, Josh Brownhill, Jack Cork, Mike Tresor.

CHELSEA STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Dorde Petrovic; Malo Gusto, Axel Disasi, Beniot Badiashile, Marc Cucurella; Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez; Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, Mykhailo Mudryk; Nicolas Jackson.
Chelsea vs Burnley14:40
Burnley got their first win since before Christmas before the international break, beating 10-man Brentford 2-1 to end an 11-match winless run in all competitions (D3 L8). The Clarets are still five points below Luton Town in 17th place, but another win here would certainly give them a boost in the relegation fight. However, Burnley are one of three teams yet to win successive Premier League games this season (along with Crystal Palace and Sheffield United), and they haven't done so since April 2022, when they managed three in a row.
Chelsea vs Burnley14:35
Chelsea still have an outside chance of booking a place in Europe next season, and a win here could move them into the top half of the table if results around them also go their way. The Blues are unbeaten in their four outings in all competitions since losing the EFL Cup final to Liverpool (W3 D1) and booked another trip to Wembley last time out as they beat Leicester City 4-2 to reach the FA Cup semi-final. Their home form is good too, having lost just one of their last 14 games at Stamford Bridge in all competitions (W10 D3).
