These are the Chelsea vs Burnley confirmed lineups for their Premier League clash as part of the Saturday fixture group. We will also detail the latest team news for each side based on the pre-match press conferences with Liam Rosenior in particular dealing with a handful of absentees. The Blues have been undefeated since appointing the former Strasbourg coach and will be aiming to continue that run against a wayward Clarets outfit who seem likely to go back down to the Championship.

Chelsea vs Burnley Confirmed Lineups & Team News
------------------------------------------------
Chelsea Team News
-----------------
In his pre-match conference, the only player the manager commented on was Marc Cucurella. The Spanish left-back has an undetermined timeline for his recovery after going off partway through the fixture with Leeds United over a week ago. He will be unavailable for this one.
The other names who the coach could be without are Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia, Dario Essugo, Jamie Gittens, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Filip Jorgensen. Tosin Adarabioyo was considered unfit for the Hull match but the [hope at the time](https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/rosenior-updates-on-tosin-return-and-goalkeepers) was he would be ready for this outing.

Burnley Team News
-----------------
Scott Parker may be the only other coach in the league juggling as many absentees as Rosenior. His side could be without as many as seven different players for this one.
Josh Cullen, Connor Roberts, Zeki Amdouni, Axel Tuanzebe, former Blue Armando Broja, Jordan Beyer, and Mike Tresor are all ruled out or doubtful for this match.
With a nine-point gap to safety and only 12 league matches remaining, the Clarets look set for relegation, particularly with injuries eating into their squad depth ahead of the run-in when fatigue catches up with everyone.
### Burnley Confirmed Lineup
This will be updated when the official eleven is announced publicly.
