Chelsea v Burnley team news as Scott Parker reverts to Crystal Palace starting XI
Burnley have reverted to the XI that came from behind to claim that remarkable win against Crystal Palace for today’s clash against Chelsea.
Scott Parker opted to make nine changes to that side last weekend, a decision that majorly backfired as the Clarets were knocked out of the FA Cup by Mansfield Town.
But it was only three days prior to that Burnley registered their first league win in 17, as they came from behind to win 3-2 at Selhurst Park.
Maxime Esteve and Josh Laurent were the only two to keep their places in the side against the Stags and they start again at Stamford Bridge.
Elsewhere, Martin Dubravka, Kyle Walker, Joe Worrall, Bashir Humphreys, Lesley Ugochukwu, Hannibal, Marcus Edwards, Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming all come back in.
