Chelsea face Brentford at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
After a break for some of his players and a lot of minutes for others, Thomas Tuchel makes 4 changes, and what looks like a formation shift.
It looks like a 433, with Marcos Alonso at left back and Cesar Azpilicueta at right back. Timo Werner.
Interestingly Ruben Loftus-Cheek starts in midfield, along with N’Golo Kante and Mason Mount. That’s an interesting call. Of course Ruben trained at Cobham for the whole break, so perhaps he really impressed his manager using that chance. We always love to see him get a chance.
Kai Havertz leads the line – hopefully to continue his great form from before the break. Brentford are not an easy side to break down, as we found out in our first match.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Brentford (kick off at 15:00 pm GMT)
