Sports Mole looks at how Chelsea could line up in Saturday's Premier League clash with Burnley.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will hope to have recovered some injured players for Saturday's Premier League clash with Burnley at Turf Moor.

The Blues will definitely be without Ben Chilwell, who is unavailable for the rest of the season following knee surgery, while Cesar Azpilicueta (knock) and Andreas Christensen (Achilles) remain doubts.

However, Hakim Ziyech (Achilles) and Trevoh Chalobah (groin) are both expected to be available.

Chalobah is believed to have the best chance of overcoming the groin issue - suffered against Liverpool in the EFL Cup final - that led to him needing stitches.

There will be changes from the side that started against Luton Town in the FA Cup on Wednesday, with fit-again Reece James potentially coming in for a start as the right-sided wing-back.

Edouard Mendy, Kai Havertz, N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic should also be back in the starting XI, while Romelu Lukaku is likely to lead the line for the European Cup holders.

Lukaku has not scored in the league since the end of December but registered in the 3-2 success at Luton, and he could be given the nod at centre-forward against Sean Dyche's side, with Havertz and Mason Mount potentially joining the Belgium international in the front three.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Mendy; Chalobah, T Silva, Rudiger; James, Kovacic, Kante, Alonso; Havertz, Lukaku, Mount
