Mauricio Pochettino has made one change to his Chelsea side as Raheem Sterling returns to the lineup to face Burnley.

There were some doubts over whether Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo would be fit enough after being replaced due to injuries in Monday’s win over Fulham. The pair have trained this week and were deemed on Friday by Pochettino to be fit enough to travel but Mudryk has been required to take a place on the bench while Caicedo continues in the centre of midfield.

The Blues boss keeps faith with the same backline that faced Fulham as Robert Sanchez guards the goal. Marc Cucurella keeps his place at right back with Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill making up the rest of the defence. Pochettino noted that he believes Colwill is equally talented on the left as in the centre of the pitch.

Caicedo’s return to fitness ensures that Pochettino can name the same midfield three again too. He is joined by Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher, who captains the side.

Armando Broja continues to lead the front line as Nicolas Jackson returns from suspension for a place on the bench. Sterling comes in for Mudryk, while Cole Palmer continues in the starting lineup after his impressive outing on Monday.
