Chelsea v Burnley: match preview

Chelsea v Burnley
Chelsea v Burnley: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

Chelsea will hope for more excitement in Thomas Tuchel’s second game in charge. The German’s side created little in their 0-0 draw with Wolves on Wednesday and need to be more incisive against Burnley, who were victorious at Anfield in their last away game. Chelsea’s underperforming attack is a problem for their manager to solve. Tuchel is still working his squad out and, with N’Golo Kanté hoping to return from a hamstring injury, he could make several changes from the Wolves stalemate. Jacob Steinberg
