Burnley
Chelsea
  • Nathan Collins looks set to start at the back after Ben Mee went off with a knee injury early on into Burnley's defeat to Leicester on Tuesday.
  • Erik Pieters remains out for Burnley but Charlie Taylor is the first-choice left-back and he is now back from injury himself.
  • Jay Rodriguez is an option to start for Sean Dyche's side in a move that would see Maxwel Cornet move to the wing in place of Aaron Lennon.
  • Cesar Azpilicueta came off injured in last weekend's Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool and has been ruled out again here. .
  • Andreas Christensen has missed the last two for Chelsea with an Achilles' injury and he remains a doubt here.
  • Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner were back in the goals in midweek and will push for recalls in the league this weekend.
  • Thiago Silva and Trevoh Chalobah have managed to train after minor injuries ruled them out against Luton. Hakim Ziyech is also back in contention.

Prediction

  • Burnley suffered only their fourth home league defeat of the season on Tuesday night as they lost 2-0 to Leicester.
  • Chelsea bounced back from Carabao Cup final heartache to Liverpool with a scrappy 3-2 win over Championship side Luton on Wednesday.
  • Chelsea twice came from behind to eventually win the game late on with under-fire forwards Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku both scoring.
  • Chelsea have only won two of their last six Premier League away games so will have to fight hard for all three points here.
