Chelsea will host Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League, in hopes of keeping a five-game unbeaten streak on track.
The Blues edged Leicester City in a 4-2 result in the English FA Cup prior to the international break but beat Newcastle 3-2 in the Premier League three weeks ago.
Burnley on the other hand approach this game off a 2-1 win over Brentford in the league a fortnight ago, and will be aiming to boost their chances of getting out of the drop zone in this game.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have the advantage ahead of this clash with four wins and a draw in their last five matches against Burnley, and the return after the break could see the result be no different.
Also, Chelsea had the upper hand in the reverse fixture this season at Turf Moor where all of Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling were on the scoresheet.
Mykhaylo Mudryk will be pushing to start ahead of Raheem Sterling on the left side of the attack for the Blues in this game after impressing in Ukraine’s friendlies on the international break.
Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsey is still out with a knee injury and will be unavailable to feature in this game for the visitors.
The match starts at 3:00 pm.
