Chelsea eyes victory against relegation-threatened Burnley. See the predicted XI featuring stars like Palmer and Fernandez, ready to dominate Stamford Bridge.

After the bitter taste of the 2-2 draw against Leeds in what was their last Premier League appearance, Chelsea returns to play at home on Saturday, February 21. Its rival will be Burnley, a team fighting to avoid relegation.

The Blues arrive in good form after accumulating four wins and one draw in the last five Premier League matches.

Chelsea's possible lineup vs. Burnley (4-2-3-1)

GK: Robert Sanchez – Undisputed starter in goal. The Spanish goalkeeper has kept 10 clean sheets in 25 Premier League appearances this season for the Blues.

RB: Reece James – The captain returns to occupy the right side of the defense after missing the matches against Wolves and Leeds due to trauma from which he is now fully recovered.

CB: Wesley Fofana – A fast defender, ideal for facing a team that will look for space on the counterattack. He has played 41% of the possible minutes in this Premier League, spread across 15 matches.

CB: Trevoh Chalobah – He is a regular in the starting lineup. The English center back has missed only one match in this Premier League and has scored three goals.

LB: Jorrel Hato – The 19-year-old fullback from Ajax will have the difficult task of replacing Marc Cucurella, who is injured. This season, he has already participated in 21 matches with the Blues across all competitions.

CM: Moises Caicedo – The Ecuadorian engine that Rosenior has in midfield will be present again. He is another regular for the team, playing 76% of the minutes. He has participated in four goals in the Premier League: three scored and one assist.

CM: Andrey Santos – Rosenior managed to polish this 21-year-old Brazilian midfielder during his time at Racing Strasbourg and has given him continuity at Chelsea.

RW: Pedro Neto – Power, speed, and unpredictability. One of the Blues' favorite weapons when it comes to opening up matches. He has 5 goals and 3 assists in 26 Premier League matches.

AM: Cole Palmer – The most game-changing player the blue team has is growing after a start to the season well below expectations, in which he has had to overcome several physical issues.

LW: Enzo Fernandez – The Argentine brings vision, the final pass, and goal-scoring ability. Committed to the team's offensive facet each time. He has missed only one Premier League match, against Nottingham Forest last October, due to injury.

ST: Joao Pedro – With 10 goals in 26 matches, the Brazilian player is Chelsea's top scorer so far this season in the Premier League.
