Team News: Willian back for Chelsea

Willian back for Chelsea

Willian has returned from injury as Chelsea face an unchanged Burnley side at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

Pedro drops to the bench in just the one change from manager Antonio Conte as he looks to maintain the Blues' 100% start to the season.

Diego Costa continues to lead the line, with support from Willian, Oscar, Nemanja Matic and Eden Hazard as Cesc Fabregas and summer signing Michy Batshuayi start among the substitutes.

Clarets boss Sean Dyche, meanwhile, keeps faith with the XI that defeated Liverpool 2-0 last time out, with scorers Andre Gray and Sam Vokes continuing their partnership up front.

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Kante; Willian, Oscar, Matic, Hazard; Diego Costa Subs: Begovic, Aina, Fabregas, Loftus-Cheek, Moses, Pedro, Batshuayi

Burnley: Heaton; Ward, Mee, Keane, Lowton; Boyd, Marney, Defour, Arfield; Gray, Vokes Subs: O'Neill, Darikwa, Tarkowski, Gudmundsson, Jutkiewicz, Kightly, Robinson
