Burnley vs Chelsea: Who is the referee and VAR for the Premier League clash? | OneFootball

The officials have been confirmed for Chelsea's Premier League clash against Burnley in the Premier League.

Chelsea return to domestic action after the November international break, and Enzo Maresca\s side are in good form as they head up north to face Scott Parker's newly-promoted Clarets.

They are currently in third place in the league, six points behind Arsenal, and will be keen to put the pressure on in the early kick off of the weekend.

Burnley are currently 17th in the league, level on points with West Ham, who they lost 3-2 to last time out, and who occupy the final spot in the relegation zone.

Their last home victory came on October 18 against Leeds United in a 2-0 win, while Chelsea have won both of their last two Premier League away games, each without conceding.
