"After securing a 2-0 victory against Fulham on Monday night, Chelsea is gearing up for their next Premier League match. The team has faced some challenges this season, managing to win only two out of their first seven games in the EPL.
Under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea aims to achieve back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since March. This challenge comes just before the international break, as they face a struggling Burnley side currently residing in the relegation zone with only one win to their name.
In terms of team news, Burnley will be missing key players Johann Gudmundsson, Manuel Benson, Darko Churlinov, and Nathan Redmond. Additionally, Hjalmar Ekdal, Michael Obafemi, and Aaron Ramsey are uncertain for the match.
Chelsea, on the other hand, has been grappling with injuries this season, with nearly eight players currently sidelined. On a positive note, Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo have returned to training after sustaining injuries in the Fulham match and may be available for the upcoming game. Midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka is also part of the team, and Nicolas Jackson is set to make a return after serving a one-match suspension due to accumulated yellow cards.
In terms of their head-to-head record, Chelsea holds a significant lead with 11 wins, while Burnley has secured just one victory, with four matches ending in a draw.
Lineup:
Burnley: Trafford; Roberts, Al-Dakhil, Beyer, Taylor; Berge, Cullen, Brownhill; Koleosho, Foster, Amdouni
Chelsea: Sanchez; Cucurella, Disasi, Silva, Colwill; Caicedo, Fernandez, Gallagher; Palmer, Jackson, Sterling"
