The Premier League returns from the international break this weekend with Chelsea’s home clash with Burnley on the schedule for March 30.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have an FA Cup semifinal against Manchester City on the horizon in the coming weeks but their immediate focus is the Premier League.
An inconsistent league campaign is likely to mean the Blues will miss out on European qualification of next season — unless they can win the FA Cup — with Burnley currently five points adrift of Premier League survival.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it worldwide, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Chelsea vs Burnley prediction
Chelsea’s Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool is their only loss in the last eight games across all competitions and they have only lost once at home since the start of 2024.
Burnley signed off for the international break with a first win since December, but they are sliding ever closer to relegation, and the hosts should edge this clash.
Prediction: Chelsea 1-0 Burnley
