Chelsea XI vs Brentford: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League | OneFootball

Pedro Neto is suspended for the visit of the Bees

Jadon Sancho is set to rewarded for his fine recent form with another start for Chelsea, with Brentford visiting on Sunday.

With Pedro Neto suspended for picking up five yellow cards, there is a space on the flank for both Sancho and Noni Madueke.

Otherwise, it is a case of as you were from Enzo Maresca, who as ever made wholesale changes to beat Astana 3-1 in the Conference League in midweek.

The experiment of playing Moises Caicedo at right-back was abandoned at half-time against Spurs, to great effect, so expect him back at midfield, with Malo Gusto at right-back.
