Frank Lampard’s young Chelsea unit is flying high with six consecutive wins in all competitions.
After a big win against Ajax in the Champions League group stages, Chelsea’s next frontier will be in the Premier League against Sean Dyche’s Burnley.
Burnley is four spots below Chelsea at 8th but could definitely pack a punch against the best at Turf Moor.
Match Details
Date- Saturday, October 26 | Kick-Off- 10 PM (IST) | Venue- Turf Moor
Burnley
Ashley Barnes was on the sidelines in the 2-1 defeat to Leicester City due to a groin injury and the centre-forward’s inclusion in the team remains in doubt. Jack Cork’s shoulder injury kept him out for a month but Sean Dyche recently suggested that Cork could in fact play a part against Chelsea.
Johann Gudmundsson is also ruled out due to an injury.
Dwight McNeil should be back in the team sheet in place of Robbie Brady.
Chelsea
N’Golo Kante and Ross Barkley are in doubts to start against Burnley due to injury. Andreas Christensen also remains on the sidelines due to a hamstring issue. Christian Pulisic made an impact off the bench against Ajax and could start the game versus Burnley. Marcos Alonso is putting in good performances at wing-back and should start ahead of Emerson. In spite of Batshuayi’s late winner against Ajax, Frank Lampard should persist with Tammy Abraham up front.
Predicted Lineups
Burnley- Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters; Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, McNeil; Barnes, Wood
Chelsea- Arrizabalaga; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Alonso; Kovacic, Jorginho; Willian, Mount, Pulisic; Abraham
Top Picks
In the absence of Ashley Barnes, Dwight McNeil can inspire Burnley through individual brilliance in midfield. McNeil has three assists from nine appearances this season.
For Chelsea, Tammy Abraham has been the go-to-guy in attack. Abraham has scored eight goals for the Blues from eight league appearances so far.
