Chelsea return to Premier league action with a huge chance to go 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League table today, as they face Burnley at Turf Moor in the early afternoon kick-off.
Antonio Conte has lined up a very solid, and not too surprising starting eleven for today’s game, as the Italian is well aware of the Clarets’ amazing home form this term, and won’t be going in underestimating the opposition.
Thibaut Courtois naturally starts between the sticks with Gary Cahill, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta lining up ahead of him into the three-man defensive line.
Marcos Alonso (left) and Victor Moses (right) serve as the wing-backs, and in the pivot we have N’Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic, who have been a solid partnership throughout the campaign.
Eden Hazard will hope to resume his form from his brilliant display against Arsenal last weekend, and Diego Costa chase his way back to the top of the score-sheet of the league. Pedro starts on the right wing today.
Chelsea seem to be organizing themselves into the well-known 3-4-3 formation today, with the full team news of both sides down below…
