Moises Caicedo is partnered with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the middle of the park with an attacking four of Noni Madueke, Enzo Fernandez, Jadon Sancho, and Christopher Nkunku.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s reinforcements on the bench where Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill,\u00a0 Nicolas Jackson, Marc Cucucrella, and others are waiting to join the fray.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s plenty of changes in a slightly unexpected move from Enzo Mareca. Brentford can cause trouble, especially on the counter so going with a slightly weaker side could prove dangerous. Enzo is pushed up to replace Palmer but will be needing the best of Madueke and Sancho to get anything as Nkunku has looked a passenger since January. Chalobah and Tosin is also a dangerous pairing as the centre-backs with both lacking the necessary recovery pace if the Bees make the right pass in behind the line.<\/p>\n<h3>Brentford Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Flekken, Ajer, van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter, Norgaard, Yarmoliuk, Damsgaard, Schade, Mbuemo, Wissa<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for the Chelsea confirmed lineup. There will be news as well as a discussion on who started, who was dropped, and what tweaks we may see from the manager.
