The expected starting 11 and Lamps clearly considers that the strongest line-up at this moment.

I'm a lot more confident than I would have been pre Mendy, Silva and Chilwell so fingers crossed..........................

COME ON THE CHELS!

I like the mount kante partnership, 2 industrious players and mount won’t just go sideways. 
 

Im glad he gave Werner a rest he was looking a bit stale, good competition up top. 
 

I like this line up a lot. 

Just now, The Don Antonio said:

AMEN. Also who takes a penalty for us with Werner and jorginho on the bench.  

Havertz has a 100% penalty conversion rate!

It has to be havertz.

That’s a great team, I was thinking Giroud or Tammy up top against a physical (bunch of cloggers) side that will sit back. Would prefer Giroud mind. 

Not sure how Giroud has been relegated to 3rd choice. Waste of his talent.

4-3-3 then with Kante holding, Zyiech and Pulsiic starting as many wanted. Should make it an interesting game.

I feel the same way. Teams in bad form often get something against us.

Chelsea have never lost at Turf Moor in the Premier League, winning five of six visits, including each of the three.

In fact, Burnley’s last top flight win at home vs Chelsea was 1-0 in Aug 1973 – Frank Casper with winning goal for Jimmy Adamson’s side. Donny Osmond was at number 1 in charts with Young Love!

So pretty much we are losing today.

I'm surprised to see Werner on the bench to be honest.

I would have preferred it if he was rested in the Champions League and started this game.

if you believe in witchcraft and wives tales, yes, go hide under the table.

Good choice by Lampard, some rotation between Werner and Abraham. Midfield of Kante, Mount and Havertz. 

Probably our best lineup, only Werner in for Abraham and Kova for Mount, but I'm happy with them both playing.

Must win for us, would be tight game but I'm sure we're more than just trying, we need to win.

COME ON CHELS!!!

off the becnh against a knackered Burnley back line, sounds like a plan to me.

Come on clean sheet and 3 points!!

i hate this lot ...i want them battered to be honest

That lineup is pretty much spot on. Well done Frank. (Bound to lose now I’ve said that).

The only change I would have made would be Hudson-Odoi instead of Pulisic. (And that is debatable).

Come on Chels! 

Hoping for a rout 0-4.

We need to score early and to open them up a bit.

Let's go!! 

Is Kovacic injured? Not even on the bench

Looking forward to seeing Mount play in the midfield 3.

I don't think that wide left position he's been asked to play so far this season gets the best out of him, so intrigued to see how he gets on in the heart of midfield. 

Abraham has played well with his limited minutes so far this season. Think his more physical presence against a robust Burnley might be a good choice. 

Zieych and James down the right has potential for some quality crosses coming in. 

Hope we create lots of chances today, Come on Chels!

I am sort of preferential to Giroud myself, he seems more consistent.  Abraham seems kind of streaky.

Wow, Frank, amazing team. It cannot get any more offensive than that. It would have been perfect to have Werner playing along all these great creative players but at least we get the trio behind for the first time + Mount in the middle which is interesting as well. 

 

Mount + Kai centrally is the duo for the future so I really hope they do well here so that people don't start to doubt them. They complement each other in theory really well so I hope for the best.

I have my doubts about Kante but I really want to see this lineup in a 4-3-3 with Kante beind deep for good or bad, I don't want to see Havertz as a winger and Ziyech more deeper in midfield with Kante and Mount...

Mount Havertz

       Kante

And not 

Pulisic Abraham Havertz

Mount Kante Ziyech!

Looking foward to the game ! Wish we would have seen Giroud a bit more this season though.

Werner is on over Pulisic apparently. Must be an injury in the warm up. I’ve got an American stream so I’m preparing for the constant crying...
