It’s Thursday night football for Chelsea tonight, something we might, unfortunately, have to get used to next season if we fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Our opposition tonight are Burnley, a side who are in a rich vein of form, a vein so rich they too are on the verge of clinching Europa League football for next season.
With an FA Cup semi-final, against Southampton, looming large on the horizon, it’ll be interesting to see how Antonio Conte approaches this fixture.
The kick-off is now looming large and we are able to bring you the team-sheets to mull over:
Burnley – Pope, Lowton, Long, Tarkowski, Ward, Lennon, Cork, Westwood, Gudmundsson, Barnes, Wood.
Subs – Heaton, Bardsley, Taylor, Marney, Hendrick, Wells, Vokes.
Chelsea – Courtois, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Rudiger, Moses, Kante, Bakayoko, Emerson, Pedro, Morata, Giroud.
Subs – Caballero, Zappacosta, Christensen, Fabregas, Barkley, Hazard, Willian.
Is anyone surprised / disappointed by the Chelsea line-up?
