Chelsea returns to Premier League action after their 2-0 win over Fulham on Monday night. The Blues have struggled for form this season, winning just two of their opening seven games in the EPL.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side will hope to win consecutive Premier League games for the first time since March, just before the international break against a Burnley side with just one win and sitting in the relegation zone.

Burnley will be without Johann Gudmundsson, Manuel Benson, Darko Churlinov, and Nathan Redmond, with Hjalmar Ekdal, Michael Obafemi, and Aaron Ramsey also doubts.
