Chelsea team vs Burnley confirmed: Hudson-Odoi, Loftus-Cheek & Higuain in starting XI

Chelsea take on Burnley tonight as they look to actually put some real pressure on the rest of the top four in the Champions League race this season.

It has been the perfect Easter weekend for the Blues without them even having to kick a ball as Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal all lost.

That means with every team having played 34 matches, Spurs are on 67 points, the Gunners and Chelsea on 66 and United two points back on 64.

However, it would be the story of Chelsea's season if they don't get a result tonight and that can't be an option for the Blues.

Why three points is still not enough for Chelsea and Maurizio Sarri against Burnley

Antonio Rudiger is not in the squad due to injury, while Marcos Alonso is also out of the game, meaning that Gary Cahill takes his place on the bench again.

Here is the full Chelsea starting XI for the match against the Clarets.

Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Luiz, Emerson, Kante, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Higuain, Hazard 

Subs: Caballero, Cahill, Kovacic, Zappacosta, Pedro, Barkley, Giroud
