Ziyech and Mendy start for Chelsea against Burnley

Hakim Ziyech and Edouard Mendy have been handed starting roles for Chelsea against Burnley in Saturday’s Premier League game.

Mendy will be making his sixth appearance for the Stamford Bridge outfit across all competitions since teaming up with the side from Ligue 1 club Rennes in the summer.

The Senegal goalkeeper has hit the ground running since his arrival, helping Frank Lampard’s men to keep clean sheets in four of the five games he has featured.

The 28-year-old also starred for the Blues in their Champions League victory over Krasnodar on Wednesday and has continued to enjoy the confidence of Lampard.
