Chelsea vs Brentford Team News and Key Players
Chelsea enter a new era under Liam Rosenior, who took over from Enzo Maresca on 6 January. The Blues have faced a challenging week, recently falling 3–2 to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg. Rosenior is hopeful that captain Reece James and star forward Cole Palmer will be fit to start after both returned to training on Thursday. However, they remain without Levi Colwill (ACL) and Romeo Lavia (thigh).
Brentford, led by Keith Andrews, are currently enjoying one of their best top-flight spells. Andrews, who stepped up from set-piece coach after Thomas Frank's departure to Tottenham, has guided the Bees to five wins in their last six games. Forward Igor Thiago is the man to watch for the visitors, having scored twice in their 3–0 win over Sunderland last week.
