Burnley Vs Chelsea

Competition/Round: Premier League

Date/Time: Thursday, April 19. 2018 – 7.45pm BST

Venue: Turf Moor

Referee: R. Madley

Chelsea will sweat on whether Marcos Alonso will be reflectively charged by the FA, with the Chelsea safeguard confronting the possibility of a three-diversion boycott if charged and discovered liable of rough lead for his handle on Southampton striker Shane Long.

Olivier Giroud’s heroics off the seat at St Mary’s mean the Frenchman is relatively sure to begin once again Alvaro Morata in advance.

David Luiz and Danny Drinkwater stay out for the champions.

Burnley will miss Scott Arfield, Steven Defour, Ben Mee and Robbie Brady, while Georges-Kevin N’Koudou and Jon Walters both have horrible odds of making the cut.

Predicted line-ups

Burnley (4-4-2): Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Long, Ward; Lennon, Cork, Westwood, Gudmundsson; Barnes, Wood.

Chelsea (3-4-3): Courtois; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Bakayoko, Emerson Palmieri; Willian, Giroud, Pedro.
