Chelsea begin the day in fourth and could close the gap to third to just two points with a win, which would also ensure that we stay ahead of the chasing pack. Unfortunately, our away record of late is horrendous. Fortunately, so is Brentford’s recent home record. Which one will give?
Enzo Maresca has made several changes from Thursday night, including rotating out Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, and Marc Cucurella. Bold strategy; let’s hope it pays off.
Here we go!
