Following the Premier League win over Fulham earlier in the week, Mauricio Pochettino has opted to keep his side largely unchanged, with the only alteration coming in the front three. That sees Raheem Sterling come back into the starting line-up, having been used from the bench against Fulham and Brighton, replacing Mykhailo Mudryk.

He joins Armando Broja and Cole Palmer in attack, while the unchanged midfield means Conor Gallagher captains Chelsea again today, alongside Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.

Ahead of goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, Axel Disasi and Thiago Silva continue at the centre of defence, with Levi Colwill on the left and Marc Cucurella expected to fill in on the right again.

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has made four changes since their midweek win over Luton Town, with Vitinho, Mike Tresor, Hannes Delcroix and Wilson Odobert all coming into their team.
