League position: 7th Chelsea had now won three of their last ten games in the Premier League (lost five). The Blues avoided failing to score in three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2015. Cesar Azpilicueta had now scored nine goals in the Premier League for Chelsea. He had done so in teams selected by six different managers.

Comments:

League position: 16th Burnley failed in their attempt to win four consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since January 2019. Including draws, this was their first game in the Clarets' last 11 in the Premier League that had been decided by more than a one goal margin. They had now failed to score in four of their last seven games in the Premier League.
