'Time to shine' - Chelsea fans love what Frank Lampard has done against Burnley

Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard has named a starting line-up which he hopes will earn victory over Burnley this afternoon.

Callum Hudson-Odoi starts alongside Willian and Tammy Abraham in attack, while Mason Mount, Ross Barkley and Jorginho line-up in midfield.

At the back, Reece James plays at right-back with Cesar Azpilicueta on the opposite side. Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen make up the rest of the back four.

Christian Pulisic was already ruled out due to an adductor injury, while Marcos Alonso is also again absent.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Marco van Ginkel remain on the sidelines with long term injuries.

After seeing the Chelsea team, supporters took to social media to laud Lampard's decision, with many delighted to see Hudson-Odoi getting another chance, after his impressive performance against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

The Blues were beaten by Southampton in their last Premier League game at Stamford Bridge, and also held by Brighton on New Year's Day.

And with only a four point cushion over Sheffield United, Chelsea will be desperate to end their poor home form against visitors Burnley.

After today's game, the Blues travel to Newcastle United next weekend.
