Five Chelsea players with something to prove against Burnley on Monday evening

Nemanja Matic

Serbian central midfielder looks set to start the season as first choice for Mourinho alongside new signing Cesc Fabregas, but the sheer amount of competition in the Chelsea midfield means that he will need to be at the top of his game.

The likes of John Obi Mikel and Marco van Ginkel are waiting in the wings if Matic is unable to keep up the impressive dislays that he showed after returning to the club from Benfica in January.
