Burnley v Chelsea: Premier League – live

It is a gloriously wet and windy day at Turf Moor as Burnley and Chelsea prepare to reawaken their Premier League campaigns after the international break. The Blues have won their last seven Saturday lunchtime kick-offs, so will fancy their chances in Lancashire. They are looking to prove they are title contenders, and a win today would move Chelsea up to second for a few hours at least.

After two straight losses, Burnley will want to give their fans something to cheer. This is a crucial stage of the season for the Clarets, who sit one place above the drop zone. Home points will be essential for Scott Parker’s side and after defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal here, they will be desperate to show they can unsettle one of the top six.

Moisés Caicedo begins on the bench for Chelsea, as does Alejandro Garnacho, who set up two goals in the victory over Wolves. Burnley are unchanged from their 3-2 defeat by West Ham.

Burnley: Dubravka, Walker, Tuanzebe, Estève, Hartman, Florentino, Cullen, Tchaouna, Ugochukwu, Anthony, Flemming

Subs: Weiss, Bruun Larsen, Foster, Edwards, Ekdal, Lucas Pires, Broja, Mejbri, Laurent

Chelsea: Sánchez, James, Chalobah, Adarabioyo, Cucurella, Santos, Fernández, Neto, João Pedro, Gittens, Delap

Subs: Jörgensen, Badiashile, Hato, Caicedo, Gusto, Acheampong, Guiu, Estêvão, Garnacho

Barcelona on Tuesday, Arsenal next weekend. But first, a trip to Turf Moor for Chelsea and a chance to go second in the league. They’ve got two wins on the bounce, while Burnley hover above the relegation spots on goal difference. History doesn’t favour the hosts either; they’ve won just one of their 18 Premier League games against Chelsea, a 3-2 triumph at Stamford Bridge eight years ago. But maybe Scott Parker, once a blue, has something special planned for us. We’ll get going at 12.30pm GMT.
