Chelsea play hosts to Burnley in the weekend action in the Premier League with Thomas Tuchel’s men favourites for the home fixture at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues last turned out against Malmo earlier this week in the Champions League with a goal from Hakim Ziyech securing a narrow win.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side against Burnley –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy will retain his spot between the sticks after keeping yet another clean sheet away at Swedish champions Malmo in the midweek fixture.
Thiago Silva could be set for some well-earned rest and Tuchel might bring in his trusted name at the back in Trevor Chalobah to deputise for the veteran Brazilian.
N’Golo Kante stayed back for Tuesday’s showdown to work on his recovery and the Frenchman is tipped for a starting role in midfield with Ruben Loftus-Cheek likely to drop down to the bench.
Mason Mount has missed two outings due to an illness and it remains to be seen whether Tuchel would want the England international to hasten his return or go with his current forward lineup.
