New: Romeo Lavia not ready to return for Chelsea's trip to Brentford. Same goes for Benoit Badiashile. Enzo Maresca: "Both are close, but not available for tomorrow."

Not sure what they see in Badiashile. Always injured and not spectacular when fit.

They must rate him highly....such a shame that Veiga and Maresca fell out, he had all the tools to be very good CB. 

[Special Juan 28,188]

Sanchez, Gusto, Tosin, Trev, Cucurella, Enzo, Moi, Neto, Estavao, Facundo, Pedro

I hope Maresca dont mess with the line up and play the best team we can play

This game it is more important than bayern game

I badly want to beat Bayern. I Want people to begin to wonder if maybe, just maybe, there's a reason we won the CWC.

lol are you crazy

win this game its important to continue with the momentum and bayern its a much more tough game and we still have a plenty of games in ucl to guarantee the qualification

Without starting full backs and no Estevao. Palmer on the bench.

Rotation. Trusting all players! 🤝

even before we have built any momentum with our gameplay

Well that sure is a surprising XI! I was saying when we announced the signing that we’d probably never see Buonanotte start a PL match for us and he starts the very first one 🤣🤣🤣

But please don’t tell me Estevão is fucking injured now too…

He will probably enter on the pitch in the second half, along with palmer and maybe garnacho

Someone remind Maresca that Lincoln is our fixture in 2 weeks and Brentford today. I get they wear the same colours but think Maresca has got the two opposition teams confused 😄

 Very interested to see how this works on the pitch, more than enough in that team to beat Brentford 

[NikkiCFC 8,370]

Just 4 changes from last game. No need for overreaction. 

Delap got injured anyway in that game. 

Palmer and Estevao not ready to start so Buonanotte.

We bought Hato to rotate to Cucurella, well this is rotation. Cucu played both games 90mins for Spain. 

Also Brentford don't have wingers so playing back 4 with 4 could play CBs is clearly tactical decision.

[Pizy 18,991]

Must win this one with the fixtures we’ve got coming up. Both for confidence/momentum and to keep up with the other big boys who will continue to win themselves. This isn’t close to the super dangerous Brentford from last season. And even today they’re starting without a couple of their current best players.

Zero excuse whatsoever not to win this today.

estevao is sick
