Chelsea will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they travel to an out-of-sorts Burnley side for Saturday's showdown.
The Blues prepared for their trip to Turf Moor in perfect fashion with a 4-0 drubbing of Russian Premier League side FC Krasnodar in the Champions League, with Callum Hudson-Odoi, Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic all getting on the scoresheet on Wednesday evening.
However, Frank Lampard has witnessed his side pick up just one win from their last five Premier League outings, but the Blues have a prime opportunity to register three points against a Burnley side still awaiting their first top-flight victory of the season.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's trip to Burnley.

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Shoulder
Possible return date: October 31 (vs. Burnley)
Kepa Arrizabalga has been struggling with a shoulder problem as of late and did not make the long journey to Russia for the win over Krasnodar. The Spaniard is being assessed ahead of Saturday's game, but Edouard Mendy kept another clean sheet in a Chelsea shirt in midweek and is unlikely to lose his place either way.
