Chelsea make their comeback from the November international break on Saturday lunchtime, travelling to Turf Moor for their Premier League contest with Burnley.
The third-placed Blues kick off the Premier League weekend in Lancashire as they seek to keep pace with Manchester City and Arsenal at the summit of the table. Victory against the Clarets would see them rise above the Cityzens and move within three points of the Gunners before the pair take to the field themselves.
Enzo Maresca’s side entered the international break with victory over managerless Wolverhampton Wanderers, but they have endured infrequent slip-ups over the past month. Defeat at home to Sunderland and an underwhelming draw against Qarabağ highlight the need for Chelsea to iron out their inconsistencies.
Burnley, led by ex-Chelsea player Scott Parker, will be eager to spring a surprise and have played their best football on home soil since their Premier League return. Seven of their ten points have been collected at Turf Moor, only tasting defeat to Liverpool and Arsenal.
The Clarets begin the weekend outside of the relegation zone on goal difference and will be keen not to drop into the bottom three.
Here is guide to the match.
