English giants Chelsea welcome Burnley to Stamford Bridge in their next Premier League clash on Saturday.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be aiming to end the season on a decent note and rise above their current position in the league table.
The Blues haven’t been at their best and their recent Carabao Cup final loss against Liverpool will haunt them for a while.
They need to come back stronger after the international break and make sure they continue their winning momentum in the PL.
They have several injury concerns to deal with heading into the match. Cole Palmer didn’t participate in England’s recent match at Wembley.

He didn’t even make it to the squad list and there are doubts regarding his participation against the Clarets. His absence will be a huge loss for their attacking ambitions.
Carney Chukwuemeka was also given some rest from international duty and he has returned to Cobham. The fans might expect him to play as a substitute.
Levi Colwill and Malo Gusto could return to the starting XI after suffering minor injuries, but it is still uncertain whether they have recovered fully during this break.
Christopher Nkunku’s poor season continues as his hamstring injury will certainly keep him out of this clash. Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Lesley Ugochukwu and Reece James continue to be sidelined from their respective injuries.
We expect Nicolas Jackson to lead the front line with Mudryk and Palmer supporting him on the wings. Conor Gallagher will be playing the role of the attacking midfielder.

Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandes will complete the midfield. Axel Disasi and Thiago Silva might partner in defence.
Malo Gusto and Ben Chilwell are expected to play as the full-backs. Petrovic is expected to be given the nod ahead of Robert Sanchez. The fans will expect the Blues to clinch all three points in this relatively easy fixture for Pochettino’s men.
