Garnacho, Delap And Caicedo To Start | 4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup Vs Brentford | OneFootball

Chelsea will welcome Brentford at Stamford Bridge this Saturday as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Blues suffered a tough 3-2 loss at the hands of Arsenal in the EFL Cup recently, so they would be eager to bounce back with a win this weekend.

Liam Rosenior will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first-team for this game. Alejandro Garnacho, Liam Delap and Moises Caicedo could all play from the start of this clash.

4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup To Face Brentford

Defence

Robert Sanchez will feature in between the sticks for the West London club after he shipped in three goals in his last outing. Wesley Fofana will operate alongside Trevoh Chalobah at the heart of the Chelsea backline as they hope to keep a solid shape defensively throughout the game.

Reece James, who is a slight concern ahead of this game, will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Marc Cucurella hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.

Tosin Adarabioyo and Josh Acheampong will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez will anchor the midfield for the London giants as they focus on winning the 50-50 duels in the middle of the park.

The gifted trio of Alejandro Garnacho, Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto will play just ahead of them as part of Rosenior’s attack. All three of them need to combine well if the Blues are to come out on top this weekend.

Estevao and Andrey Santos will have to settle for a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Liam Delap will lead the charge for the Blues in the final third. He has to figure out a way to be a real threat up top.

Marc Guiu and Joao Pedro will make up the numbers on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if needed.
