Brentford vs Chelsea – Team News

Chelsea face Brentford at the G Tech Stadium in just under an hour, and the teams are in!

Mauricio Pochettino made 5 changes to his team for the midweek FA Cup game against Leeds, and the majority of his starters from a week ago are back in.

Djordje Petrovic plays in goal, confirming his status as number one stopper.

After that, things get interesting.

It could be a back 5, with Ben Chilwell and Malo Gusto at wing back, and Trevoh Chalobah, Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill in the middle.

Alternatively, Pochettino has just returned to the “Colwill left back, Chilwell left wing” lineup he favoured at the start of the season – much to the frustration of fans.

The two setups are ultimately quite similar, it’s just a question of how far up the pitch Chilwell is playing.

Here are the full team line-ups for Brentford vs Chelsea (kick off at 15:00 GMT)
