Chelsea face Burnley at Turf Moor in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
After a midweek game against Luton in the FA Cup which gave some players the chance to rest, Thomas Tuchel returns to a very familiar XI for today’s Premier League game.
There’s a back three of Chaobah, Silva and Rudiger, Jorginho slots in for Mateo Kovacic in the midfield two, and it’s the same Mount, Pulisic, Havertz front 3.
Significantly there are changes at wing back – Reece James starts his first game after a couple of months out, and it appears that Saul is playing at left wing back.
The Spaniard has done that before, but not in a Premier League game from the start. That’s a huge vote of confidence in him from Tuchel, we hope it works out.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Burnley (kick off at 15:00 pm GMT)
