Mount and Marcos Alonso dropped, no Pulisic - The team Chelsea fans want to see against Burnley

Chelsea may be facing a number of injury problems, but for the most optimistic supporters that's not a big problem.

The Blues travel to Turf Moor to take on Burnley this weekend and will be without N'Golo Kante, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Ross Barkley.

These injuries are not necessarily new news for Frank Lampard's side, who has been without three of the four for most of the season so far; while the boss certainly has options to replace Barkley in midfield.

Supporters were asked who they'd like to start the game with the Clarets, and they came up with some interesting responses.

The defence is as expected, however fans have urged Emerson Palmieri to return in place of Marcos Alonso.

In midfield, they've backed N'Golo Kante to start alongside Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic - something which is ambitious at best.

This also means that Mason Mount is left out of the fans' predicted XI.

Frank Lampard hinted at a starting role for Christian Pulisic at Turf Moor, but instead supporters have opted for an attacking trio of Willian, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tammy Abraham.

Chelsea supporters' predicted XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Tomori, Zouma, Emerson; Jorginho, Kovacic, Kante; Willian, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi
