Team News
Brentford
Chelsea
- Brentford have Kristoffer Ajer and Vitaly Janelt available for selection for this west London clash.
- Shandon Baptiste, Josh Dasilva and Mads Sorensen all miss out.
- Yoane Wissa will hope to make his full league debut after some impressive recent showings.
- Chelsea will hope to have N'Golo Kante back from his bout of COVID-19, though he may only make the bench here.
- Thiago Silva is unavailable after joining up with the Brazil squad during the international break. Antonio Rudiger also misses out, so Trevoh Chalobah could move to the left centre-back role and Cesar Azpilicueta fill in at the back.
- Reece James and Christian Pulisic remain doubts for Chelsea ahead of Saturday's short trip to face Brentford.
- Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ross Barkley have surprisingly worked their way back into contention, even ahead of summer signing Saul Niguez.
- Timo Werner had a good international break with Germany and scored in Chelsea's last game so he will hope to start here.
- Ben Chilwell has endured a tough few months, but there finally appears to be light at the end of the tunnel.
Chelsea are lucky to have such a great keeper
Please look into Mbeumo shot on target. YES he's hit the woodwork twice but he also had a shot on target which has not been marked down. He was not crossing the ball he was going for goal. There was no one there for him to cross the ball to so he had a cheeky low driven shot. This needs to be looks at, it was around the 30th minute. Please rectify this.
Malang Stats are high but ALL Brentford chances apart from Toney's Shot on Goal, were when Malang was outpaced or out of position. He should have a 4.5 rating!!
@WxWe you are stupid.
Chelsea wins 1:0 and people still slam us. Liverpool draws 3:3 and people simply praise them. Rant all you want, but come May 2022, fancy exciting football will count for naught while scrappy tenacious 1:0 wins clinch the title
@Azylyan If all teams play like Chelsea the sport would never be as popular as it is. Chelsea is horrific to watch at. Defensive football doesn't have to be boring. Leicester won the league with defensive play, yet they played quite attractive football at the same time.
@Azylyan Well said, mate.
@Azylyan It's a difference if you play boring but defensively stable football or if you get outshot and only survive thanks to an incredible goalie. How can you defend this type of football ?
What a waste of money Lukaku is.
@Frei78 yes big waste yet we arw much improved with him in the side and top
Additionally, the overall Chelsea performance being ranked as anything higher than a 6.5 is an aberration although ik it’s just the bizarre whoscored rating system
How can get Chelsea the higher rating ?
Chelsea were incredibly lucky. Fair play to Mendy, but they were far outplayed especially in the second half
WHere is Mendy 10 rating??
Mendy needs 10 rating otherwise what is the point of whoscored rating system
Mendy 7.2 ? WS need to review their rating algorithm for GKs
Mbuemo shot on target. What else do you call that? Messing with definitions again
@Yoiman I completely agree. An obvious shot. It certainly wasn't a pass
@stevekitts exactly. There wasn't even anyone In the box for him to be trying to pass to
how is the shot from Mbeumo not down as a shot?
Mbeumo Shot on target, from right hand side of the six yard box. Fired straight at mendy.
@Be_Honest I've backed him to have 2 shots on target at 6/1
Most likely a draw
There will be a surprise, all the way Brentford
Lukaku to score
@alxdru I think tonight Werner is more likely to score than Lukaku.
1 - 0
Rudiger out, I should just retire from FPL
Brentford may cause Chelsea problems.It is best waiting for team news to see who has come back fit from the internationals.
Whoever predicted a 4-0 Brentford win has balls
Both team to score and Chelsea win
Brentford - Chelsea 1:2(0:0)
Difficult game. BRE 0-2 CHE
1 - 0 chelsea win
Chelsea win
@Chilly_B Toney is a handful
@Chilly_B There will be no surprises yep.
