Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has named an unchanged squad as he looks to extend his team’s lead to 12 points atop the league table. Thibaut Courtois starts in goal with a familiar back three of Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz and Gary Cahill ahead of him. It is a celebratory day for Cahill as he makes his 150th appearance for the Blues.
Team to face Burnley: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Pedro, Diego Costa, Hazard. #CFC
