Pochettino to revert to usual setup for Brentford – Talk Chelsea

Chelsea are again in Premier League motion this weekend and as soon as once more, it’s in opposition to a London membership.

Brentford make their quick journey to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea for the 12.30pm kick off in entrance of the TV cameras.

Chelsea are off the again of 4 video games unbeaten, profitable three of them – placing themselves right into a barely higher league place in tenth.

Brentford have solely received one sport of their final 5 and after 9 video games in, have grow to be the draw specialists drawing the bulk, dropping three, and profitable two.

They’re down 14th spot, however simply two factors under Chelsea.

Chelsea are simply 4 factors off high six proper now and a win will do wonders.

Chelsea have a giant 59% win chance for this sport, with Brentford solely having 18%.

Of their final sport, Brentford beat Burnley 3-0 however the guests did have a participant despatched off. They’ve misplaced to Everton and Newcastle this season.

On paper, Chelsea might be thought-about the favourites for this one, however we should not be taking that without any consideration as a result of Brentford are an excellent workforce and are greater than able to coming to The Bridge and getting a end result on Saturday.

They’ve an honest supervisor in Thomas Frank and we all know they are going to arrive very organised, powerful to interrupt down, and absolutely up for the sport and able to match our vitality and depth.

Towards Burnley they setup in a 4-3-3 formation, which I anticipate to match our personal formation this weekend.

This fixture most likely brings one of many ones with the least quantity of historical past. Chelsea and Brentford have solely met 19 instances of their historical past, with Chelsea profitable 10 of them and dropping 6.

However, it’s Brentford who have gotten the higher of Chelsea just lately, profitable 2-0 at Stamford Bridge again in April, and being unbeaten in opposition to Chelsea in the entire of 2022, together with a 4-1 win thrashing of Chelsea at The Bridge.

Time to begin beating Brentford once more, Chelsea!

When it comes to Mauricio Pochettino’s beginning lineup, it’s now changing into fairly laborious to name – particularly after the shock lineup he went for in opposition to Arsenal; a tactical masterclass that labored a deal with and may have seen us win the sport.

However will he go for that in opposition to Brentford? Or was that simply to cease Arsenal controlling the sport in the course of the park? I believe it was most likely the latter, and I can see one thing like this from the off on Saturday:

Chelsea XI v Brentford

There are some very powerful calls in right here, largely whether or not Mykhailo Mudryk begins or Raheem Sterling. Or whether or not we don’t bought with an out and out striker once more and get all three of Sterling, Mudryk, and Palmer beginning. A part of me thinks we would truly see that once more you recognize? With Palmer taking part in extra centrally, the place he’s higher in my view. So I’m a bit break up, I believe we might see that the extra I give it some thought.

The opposite massive name is on the again with both Axel Disasi or Marc Cucurella beginning. I believe each have been first rate of their previous couple of video games, so it’s such a tricky name to make. I want Levi Colwill centrally although so I believe I’d use Cucurella at left again. There’s even a name that Cucurella has made himself un-droppable proper now?

Loads of massive selections for Pochettino to make and as soon as once more, I’m glad it’s him and never me.

Armando Broja has skilled this week and needs to be out there, so there may be even an opportunity that he will get put in.

And the end result, and whisper it, I’m truly assured of a Chelsea win. I’m going for 2-0 to Chelsea!
