EARLIER this year Jorginho broke the record for the number of passes in a game, with a staggering 180 against West Ham. The versatile Italy midfielder is both box-to-box and ball winner, but back in the side Steven Defour will be looking to impress too.
After Burnley celebrated a shock opening day win against the defending champions, Chelsea exacted revenge in the reverse fixture at Turf Moor in April. A Kevin Long first half own goal was cancelled out by Ashley Barnes in the 64th minute, but parity was short-lived as Victor Moses hit the winner five minutes later
CLARETS: Joe Hart, Matt Lowton, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Charlie Taylor, Aaron Lennon, Steven Defour, Jack Cork, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Jeff Hendrick, Sam Vokes
CHELSEA: Kepa, César Azpilicueta, Antonio Rüdiger, David Luiz, Marcos Alonso, N'Golo Kanté, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic, Willian, Álvaro Morata, Eden Hazard
