His season has not even started but Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho already faces a huge dilemma. Will it be Petr Cech or Thibaut Courtois keeping goal?

Cech has been first choice keeper for a decade and insisted during pre-season that he would not want to stay at Stamford Bridge if he is put on the bench.

And, according to the Evening Standard,, external the three-time Premier League winner could be on his way out, with the newspaper reporting that Mourinho is set to start with Courtois.

Not long to wait for official confirmation on who starts. Team news is coming up shortly. . .

"Burnley are not glamorous but they are not daft either - they know they not going to attract top foreign players to Turf Moor and it would make no financial sense to spend £10m on a signing.

"Their manager Sean Dyche's approach to trying to stay in the Premier League is to is keep the nucleus of his side that won promotion together, and they will have a right go at staying up.

"Yes, they will lose some games and, yes, they will take some beatings but in terms of application and effort they will not be lacking."

Some sad news to bring you now. Broadcasting great James Alexander Gordon died peacefully on Monday morning at the age of 78.

James was, of course, synonymous with reading the classified football results on BBC radio for 40 years before his retirement last year.

He was not only a broadcasting legend, but also a true gentleman and he will be greatly missed by everyone at BBC Sport.

Chelsea have not won the Premier League title since Burnley last graced the Premier League stage in 2009-10.

Is this the season they get it right? Have they spent wisely in the summer? Can Burnley learn lessons from their last season in the top-flight or will they be playing in the Championship next season?

Burnley on Twitter:, external Turf Moor is ready.

This time last year Burnley were playing Yeovil at Turf Moor. Now they're hosting the multi-millionaires of Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho has reacted to last season's trophy-less campaign by shelling out more than £77m on new players, including a cool £32m on Diego Costa. Burnley's most expensive summer signing? Striker Lukas Jutkiewicz, who cost £1.5m from Middlesbrough.

West London swagger collides with east Lancashire grit.

The casualties are scattered far and wide.

Since the first day of the inaugural Premier League season in 1992, when Sheffield United's Brian Deane felled Manchester United,, external the opening round of top-flight games has proved a minefield for the big-spending superpowers.

More recently Liverpool crumbled to a 3-0 defeat at West Brom at the start of the 2012-13 campaign.

The following season Arsenal were left licking their wounds after a 3-1 home setback at the hands of Aston Villa, Christian Benteke (below) scoring twice.
