On Saturday afternoon, Chelsea will travel to Turf Moor for a Premier League clash against Burnley, aiming to secure their third consecutive win across all competitions. The Blues come into the match on the back of a 2-0 victory over Fulham. Meanwhile, the Clarets are in high spirits themselves, having earned their first three points of the new season with a 2-1 victory over Luton Town last Tuesday.
Mauricio Pochettino will opt for a 4-3-3 formation and could make a few changes to the first XI for this game. Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson will the get over Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja.
4-3-3 Chelsea Predicted XI Vs Burnley
Defence
Robert Sanchez will continue to function as a goal keeper for the Blues after keeping a clean sheet in his last outing. Thiago Silva will form the customary centre-half partnership alongside Axel Disasi as they try to keep the opposition attackers at bay during the game.
Marc Cucurella will fill in as the right-back while Levi Colwill looks to catch the eye as the left-back. Both of them will be given the freedom to make some overlapping runs out on the flanks.
Midfield
Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher will play as the holding midfielders as they try to dictate the tempo of the game at the centre of the park.
Lesley Ugochukwu will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to impress in the second half if required.
Attack
Cole Palmer will fill in as the right winger while Raheem Sterling tries to produce an influential display on the opposite flank.
Nicolas Jackson will spearhead Chelsea’s attack on his own up top. He would be eager to find the back of the net and put his name on the scoresheet in this away encounter.
Armando Broja will have to take a spot on the bench and might come on in the latter stages of the match if Chelsea are in need of a goal by then.
