Burnley welcome back Robbie Brady for the first time since he suffered a knee tendon injury last December. Ben Gibson has stepped up his comeback after a hernia problem but remains sidelined, while Aaron Lennon has a virus and could miss out. Chelsea top scorer Eden Hazard is a fitness doubt after suffering a back injury against Manchester United. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is pushing for a start after scoring a hat-trick in the Blues' Europa League win over BATE. Interested to see the actual line ups.
Don’t fancy us today...will see what Morata offers, hopefully more than last game and expecting full games from the wingers. 3 midfielders on the bench but not Moses or Hudson Odoi is surprising. Hopefully Jorginho manages to run the game from the midfield!
Bit of a bad feeling about this one. Can we step up without Hazard ? Can Barkley continue good form ? Can Morata finally hit the cow's arse with a banjo ?!!! Questions questions.
Now the mettle of this Chelsea team maybe tested with no Eden Hazard. I feel Sarri could have gone for Kovacic instead of Kante seeing he still so far provides little attacking wise while being asked to be a b2b especially seeing Hazard isnt there anymore and Burnley sometimes can prove to be a very dogged teams.
a very impressive performance by us. In truth burnley didn't offer much at all. i really like loftus cheeks physicality and barkley has a great game alongside the usual suspects. even morata played pretty well
Yes to all especially pleased with Morata’s performance. He looked sharper and more dangerous playing on the shoulder of the last defender but I think most of the credit goes to Sarri for changing our previously slow method of play.
Great result with some very good indivual performances.Ross must be first name on the team sheet. I'll forgive Morata for his misses could of easily had 3.
