Chelsea XI vs Brentford – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Enzo Maresca’s unbeaten Chelsea make the short trip to Brentford for their fourth consecutive London derby.

The Blues arrive in strong form after a controversial but important win over Fulham. They will be determined to end a surprising three-match losing streak against their West London rivals. However, a growing injury list presents a significant challenge for Maresca to navigate.

Chelsea team news

Enzo Maresca’s forward plans have been dealt a major blow. New striker Liam Delap is now out for up to three months with a serious hamstring injury. He joins fellow summer signing Dario Essugo and defender Levi Colwill on the long-term absentee list, which will test the depth of the squad.

The manager does have some reinforcements available, though. Cole Palmer has returned to training after a groin problem and could feature.

In addition, new signing Alejandro Garnacho is expected to be named in the squad, offering a fresh attacking option. João Pedro will lead the line in Delap’s absence, supported by the creative duo of Pedro Neto and the record-breaking young dribbler, Estêvão.
