Burnley vs Chelsea
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Turf Moor
Date: Sunday, October 28
Kick-off: 1:30pm BST
Chelsea return to domestic action on Sunday as they travel north to face Burnley at Turf Moor.
Maurizio Sarri's Blues have made a strong start to the Premier League season as they sit two points off leaders Manchester City, and have picked up maximum points in their Europa League after Thursday night's 3-1 win over BATE.
Sean Dyche's Burnley have had a difficult time of it with the Clarets sitting 13th after some inconsistent performances, and a 5-0 humbling at Man City last weekend does not bode well for Sunday.

Team news
Nick Pope remains out for Burnley, who are also missing Stephen Ward. Robbie Brady is in with an outside chance of returning, as is Ben Gibson.
Eden Hazard is a doubt with a back injury, which could offer Ruben Loftus-Cheek an opportunity after his hat-trick against BATE on Thursday.

Head to head
The sides have met eight times in the Premier League, with Burnley winning just once - but that victory came on the opening day of last season in a 3-2 shock at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have won five of those meetings, including a 2-1 win at Turf Moor in April.
