Chelsea vs. Brentford, Premier League: Live blog; highlights
Chelsea have been on a great run since November, with seven wins in nine games since a 1-1 draw to Manchester United at home. If we stick to what we’re doing, a seventh consecutive win for the Blues would be almost certainly a lock.
This however is Brentford, which have been a bogey team for us since returning to the Premier League. Not just do we need to stick to the plan today, but also play at our highest level to finally beat them after five consecutive failed attempts at doing so.
Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
Sánchez | Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella | Caicedo, Enzo (c) | Madueke, Palmer, Sancho | Jackson
Substitutes from: Jorgensen, Disasi, Acheampong, Veiga, Dewsbury-Hall, Rak-Sakyi, George, Nkunku, Guiu
Brentford starting XI:
Flekken | Roerslev, Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis-Potter, Norgaard, Yarmoliuk, Damsgaard, Mbeumo, Wissa
