Chelsea Predicted Lineup vs. Brentford: Premier League | OneFootball

Chelsea make the short trip to Brentford looking to string together Premier league wins to cement their place amongst the top four.

The Blues pulled off a strong win vs. Tottenham Hotspur in their return to action after the March international break. With some key players returning to fitness, Enzo Maresca's team looked significantly better than in their last couple of games prior to the break.

With only eight games to go in the Premier League season, the fight for the Champions League places is extremely tight, with only eight points separating Chelsea in fourth from Bournemouth in 10th.

Chelsea have only won one of their last six matches vs. Brentford, but that win came last time out in the reverse fixture in mid-December, so the Blues will hope that victory helped end the skid against their London neighbors.

Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana suffered injury set-backs and are unlikely to feature in the match. Nevertheless, Chelsea are healthier than they were a month ago and Maresca has more than enough talent at his disposal to go get all three points.

Here's how Chelsea could lineup vs. Brentford on Sunday, Apr. 6.
