The defence has featured Trevoh Chalobah, Levi Colwill, Axel Disasi, Ben Chilwell, Malo Gusto, and Alfie Gilchrist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/02\/29\/mykhailo-mudryk-arsenal-devastated-chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">\u2018Devastated\u2019: Chelsea Star&#8217;s Heartbreak Over Collapsed Dream Move to Rival London Club<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo have been the defensive midfield pairing of choice even with the congested fixture list. Mykhailo Mudryk, Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke, and Raheem Sterling have set up in the attacking spots with Nicolas Jackson leading as the only striker.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Mauricio Pochettino has remained true to his 4-2-3-1 setup which has resulted in just one defeat in their past five outings.

This is a team that has trouble keeping goals out, but their firepower gets them over the line when things click.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>The latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chelseafc.com\/en\/news\/article\/chelsea-injury-update-ahead-of-brentford\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">injury report<\/a> from the club has lightened the numbers with Thiago Silva and Marc Cucurella no longer listed. Christopher Nkunku, Benoit Badiashile, Carney Chukwuemeka, Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Romeo Lavia, and Lesley Ugochukwu remain sidelined.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Predicted Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>One change that could happen is Disasi getting a rest after playing a lot of minutes in recent weeks.
