How can I watch it?
The match will air live on BT Sport 1, with coverage starting from 11:30am GMT. Subscribers can also stream the game live on the BT Sport website and app.
What is the team news?
N’Golo Kante could return from a hamstring injury to boost Tuchel’s options in midfield. The team’s poor performance against Wolves could mean those left out in mid-week may be in line for an opportunity to perform.
Sean Dyche may have Ashley Barnes and Josh Brownhill available, although the duo will be assessed after they picked up knocks recently. Charlie Taylor is set to miss out with a hamstring injury.
Confirmed line-ups
Chelsea XI: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Thiago Silva, Hudson-Odoi, Kovacic, Jorginho, Alonso, Mount, Werner, Abraham
Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Brady, Wood, Vydra
Odds
Chelsea: 1/3
Draw: 9/2
Burnley: 9/1
Prediction
Chelsea have had more time to understand the philosophy that new boss Thomas Tuchel wants to implement, but is it enough? Burnley have impressed away from home against the big teams, except Manchester City. I think the Blues will edge it. 1-0 Chelsea.
