Haven't won our last 5 games against them (3 losses 2 draws)so time for that to change! Just one of those teams that either play amazing against us or we completely fall apart against. Gotta just go for it and not do silly things

Brentford will be all over Sanchez and our defenders.  

Expecting a draw but hoping we can pull off a moment of magic and get the 3 points 😃

My guesses are

 

Frustrating game

Sanchez concedes 2+ goals nobody else in Chelsea history bar one Spanish jockey would. In his case it’s something missing upstairs still 

Shooting boots nowhere to be found — not a day where we do 4+, not a day where our best, are their best

Jackson gets a frustrated goal that either equalises or claws one back.

Yep, I’m expecting them to try to get super aggressive and physical with us to unsettle our players from minute one. Their tactic will be to press our CB’s and keeper and try to force us into mistakes like Spuds did in that opening 15-20 minutes last weekend. We clearly struggle with that when Sanchez & Badiashile are back there.

Really, really hope Lavia is good to play. Without him I worry against a side like Brentford with Caicedo basically on his own in midfield as Enzo doesn’t provide much defensive help and Gusto gets panicky sometimes.

Ooo I thought it was on sky which is why the kick off time is late! Annoying

Me too.

I thought a game that with a win a team can go only 2 points behind the leaders, but they wanted to get a local derby in with 2 midtable teams.

Fully expected lineup but with Tosin for Badiashile who is not even on the bench just like Mudryk, Felix and Lavia. And with Fofana, James injured and Neto suspended all of the sudden we have so many players out so bench is really weak apart from Nkunku.

Yikes. The 11 looks solid bar some questions mark in the middle on the counter, but so many missing all of a sudden. Let’s hope there are no serious injuries. Quite strange that there were no fitness questions at the press conference. COYB!

Bench is fine, we literally have a goal machine, an in form goalscorer, between two of them, our best youngsters this season, the rest either being versatile or like for like for XI switches. How is that not a good bench. If was City would be ooooo look at how many youngsters they already have ready. Look at Nkunku being a /bench/ option. Explosiveness up front between three of them, a tempo controller in one of them, a makeshift destroyer if need be as has been fine so far. Chill 😆

these are the ones not in the gameday squad

you could win a fair amount of games with this lot as long as all were 100 per cent healthy

Benoît Badiashile
Wesley Fofana 
Ben Chilwell
Reece James
Roméo Lavia 
Carney Chukwuemeka

But even with the derby it seems odd to have the kick off late when no Sky tv reasoning for it involved. Hey ho...

So that’s now 3 incredible results for us in the same weekend. Maybe 4 if you still consider Brighton a top 4 threat.

What a GIGANTIC 3 points it would be if we take care of business. Would allow us to have a pretty nice cushion in case this young team goes off form a bit and slips up a couple of times. 

Please just win, lads!!! Any way necessary, just fucking WIN!
