Burnley name starting XI for Chelsea clash as Vincent Kompany springs a surprise

The Clarets return to Turf Moor, where they’ve yet to pick up a point so far this season, looking to build on Tuesday night’s 2-1 victory against Luton Town.

Kompany has opted to make four changes in total from what was a bruising encounter at Kenilworth Road.

Connor Roberts, Jordan Beyer, Luca Koleosho and Zeki Amdouni all drop out. Vitinho, Hannes Delcroix, Mike Tresor and Wilson Odobert are the four to take their places.

For Tresor and Odobert, it’s their first league starts for the Clarets.

Hjalmar Ekdal, Johann Gudmundsson, Manuel Benson, Darko Churlinov, Nathan Redmond and Michael Obafemi all remain sidelined.

Anass Zaroury isn’t involved in the match day squad for the second game running.

As for Chelsea, they make one change from their 2-0 win against Fulham on Monday night, as Raheem Sterling comes in for Mykhailo Mudryk.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side sit 11th in the table following a stuttering start to the campaign, winning just two of their opening seven games.
