Chelsea will expect to tighten their grip on first place when they host Burnley. Thomas Tuchel’s team are in good form and have been boosted by Christian Pulisic’s return from injury. Mason Mount could also return after wisdom tooth surgery and, although Marcos Alonso has joined Romelu Lukaku, Mateo Kovacic and Timo Werner in the treatment room, Chelsea should have too much for Sean Dyche’s side.
