Team news & rosters

There's nearly always one Premier League new boy that throws caution to the wind to emerge as the surprise package of the new campaign, and Thomas Frank's Bees have done just that this term.

Seventh heading into the weekend, they'll hope to maintain this early rush in the race for Europe - but they face arguably their toughest test of the season yet in their visitors.

Predicted Brentford starting XI: Raya; Jorgensen, Jansson, Pinnock; Canos, Baptiste, Norgaard, Onyeka, Henry; Mbeumo, Toney.

Defeats to Manchester City and Juventus in quick succession have popped the balloon of expectation at Stamford Bridge somewhat - but there is no denying that Thomas Tuchel's side remain among the heavy favourites to take the Premier League crown.

Chelsea do have absences in defence to contend with, but will hope to have the firepower to overcome any concerns at the back.

Predicted Chelsea starting XI: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Christensen; James, Jorginho, Kante, Chilwell; Mount, Havertz; Lukaku.
