Team News

Chelsea
Brentford
  • Frank Lampard remains without injured pair Armando Broja and Kalidou Koulibaly.
  • The duo are joined by Reece James and Mason Mount, the former confirmed as sidelined for the rest of the season.
  • Christian Norgaard misses out having sustained a knock in the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa last time out.
  • Keane Lewis-Potter, Kristoffer Ajer and Pontus Jansson are all ruled out.
  • Yoane Wissa may replace Kevin Schade on the left should Thomas Frank opt to rotate.

Prediction

  • Chelsea had the weekend off owing to Manchester United's FA Cup involvement, so have had extra time to prepare for this one. The Blues are, however, winless in seven, losing five times in that run.
  • Brentford aren't in much better form. The Bees were pegged back late on against Aston Villa at the weekend with a 1-1 draw extending their winless run to six. Thomas Frank's side are well off the pace for a top-six finish and have dropped to 10th.
  • With both teams out of form, a draw is likely in this west London derby.
