Saul Niguez starts just his third Premier League game for Chelsea against Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

Saul Niguez has been handed just his third Premier League start for Chelsea against Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

The Atletico Madrid loanee got on the scoresheet against Luton Town in the FA Cup fifth round on Wednesday night, but the Spaniard switches from central midfield to left wing-back for the fixture at Turf Moor.

After two substitute appearances since returning from a hamstring injury, Reece James starts on the opposite flank, while Trevoh Chalobah and Thiago Silva are fit enough to feature in the back three.

Despite both players netting against the Hatters in midweek, Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku both drop down to the substitutes' bench, allowing for Christian Pulisic and Kai Havertz to come back into the team.

Jorginho and N'Golo Kante get the nod in the centre of the pitch, leaving Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to only be named among the replacements.

Kenedy is named in reserve, presumably due to an injury to Marcos Alonso, while Hakim Ziyech is also available again after missing the last two games.

Burnley: Pope; Roberts, Tarkowski, Collins, Taylor; McNeil, Brownhill, Westwood, Lennon; Rodriguez, Weghorst
Subs: Hennessey, Lowton, Bardsley, Long, Thomas, Cork, Cornet, Barnes, Richardson

Chelsea: Mendy; Chalobah, Silva, Rudiger; James, Kante, Jorginho, Saul; Pulisic, Havertz, Mount
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Kenedy, Christensen, Sarr, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Ziyech, Lukaku, Werner
