The latest of those victories came on Wednesday night as a late goal from Michy Batshuayi earned the Blues a 1-0 triumph over Ajax in the Champions League.

However, the West Londoners have several players who remain in the treatment room, leaving Frank Lampard with plenty to think about ahead of the meeting with the Clarets.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension list for Chelsea ahead of the showdown at Turf Moor.

N'Golo Kante

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: October 26 (vs. Burnley)

Kante was ruled out for a second successive game in midweek, which suggests that Chelsea are being cautious regarding the Frenchman's fitness. As it stands, it appears unlikely that the midfielder will feature on Saturday.

Andreas Christensen

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: November 2 (vs. Watford)

Having sustained a hamstring injury while on international duty with Denmark, Christensen will not return to the squad until the start of November.

Antonio Rudiger

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: Unknown

While Rudiger featured on the bench against Newcastle United, the centre-back did not travel with the rest of the squad to the Netherlands earlier this week. Lampard may be looking to give Rudiger game-time against Manchester United in the EFL Cup next week, rather than in the North-West at the weekend.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Status: Out
Type of injury: Achilles
Possible return date: Unknown

Loftus-Cheek has been out since May with a major Achilles injury and he is believed to still be at least a month from being considered for selection.

Marco van Ginkel

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

The Dutchman is back to running in training but there is no timetable yet for his potential return to first-team football for the Blues.

Ross Barkley

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: Unknown

Chelsea are yet to disclose a potential comeback date for Barkley, who suffered an ankle injury against Newcastle. Like with Rudiger, Lampard may avoid taking any risks with the Englishman this weekend.

CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Chelsea have no players who are suspended for the contest with the Clarets.
