Frank Lampard has some real decisions to make against Burnley tomorrow, and I’m sure the pondering will be giving him a headache as we speak.
Christian Pulisic has given him a good problem, he has been performing well when called upon in recent substitute appearances and is really knocking hard on the door for a start now, and deservedly so.
But Callum Hudson-Odoi and Willian have also both been performing in recent matches albeit Callum had an off game in midweek.
Mason Mount had been looking tired and had a few quiet games, but he performed well again against Ajax this week to re-stake a claim.
So where does Pulisic fit in? Personally, I think he might finally be handed a start for either Mount or Hudson-Odoi tomorrow.
Michy Batshauyi has also been knocking hard on the same door as Pulisic and could get a start tomorrow to give Abraham a rest.
Antonio Rudiger, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Andreas Christensen, N’Golo Kante and Ross Barkley are all still out injured.
Lampard on team news: "Loftus-Cheek is well out. Rudiger won't be ready for the weekend but he is getting closer outside with us. N'Golo won't be ready he is training alone. Christensen is still out. Barkley is out, not majorly out, but just out. Hopefully back next week" #CFC

So here is my preferred Chelsea Xl vs Burnley (4-2-3-1) –
Kepa, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Emerson. Jorginho, Kovacic. Hudson-Odoi, Pulisic, Willian. Batshuayi.
