Chelsea v Brentford

Chelsea wing-back Reece James has recovered from a muscle problem but Callum Hudson-Odoi remains sidelined.

Andreas Christensen, Saul Niguez and Kepa Arrizabalaga are also back in contention after missing the Blues' last game.

Josh Dasilva returns for Brentford after completing a three-match ban.

Boss Thomas Frank says the Bees have no new fitness concerns, though Julian Jeanvier is a long-term absentee.

LAWRO'S PREDICTION

Brentford lost at Leicester before the international break but the two wins they got before that mean they have some breathing space above the bottom three.

I'm not surprised Ivan Toney has started scoring again now Christian Eriksen is in the Bees team, because he must be a joy for any striker to play with.
