Chelsea play hosts to the league’s new boys Brentford at Stamford Bridge on Saturday with Thomas Tuchel’s men hoping to cement their top four hopes.
The Blues resume their domestic league campaign following a lengthy international break and would be backed to secure the three points against Brentford.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side against Brentford –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy will be in line to assume the goalkeeping duties between the sticks for the home side Chelsea behind a formidable defensive lineup.
Antonio Rudiger will serve as the defensive mainstay at the back with Andreas Christensen and Trevoh Chalobah joining the German.
In the centre of the park, N’Golo Kante is expected to partner up with the Croatia international maestro Mateo Kovacic with Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso slotting in the wing-back roles.
Kai Havertz, on the back of his fine run of form for club and country of late, is poised to lead the line with Mason Mount and Timo Werner the other attacking options.
