Chelsea are missing some important players, which might tip the scales. Reece James is a huge loss, and Brentford may try to take advantage of the back three without Wesley Fofana.
Chelsea Confirmed Starting XI
Chelsea: Kepa, Loftus-Cheek, Koulibaly, Chalobah, Cucurella, Chillwell, Jorginho, Kovacic, Mount, Sterling, Aubameyang.
Brentford Confirmed Starting XI
Brentford: Raya, Ajaer, Pinnock, Mee, Henry, Onyeka, Janelt, Jensen, Mbuemo, Wissa, Toney.
Recall that Jorginho’s contract negotiations with Chelsea are reportedly at an impasse because the Italian midfielder wants a pay raise that would bring his weekly salary up to £150,000.
Jorginho, veteran center-back Thiago Silva, and fellow midfielder N’Golo Kante are the three key Chelsea players whose contracts are up next summer.
And even though the Blues have begun talks about keeping the 30-year-old beyond the current campaign, Jorginho and the Blues have not yet reached an understanding about his contract demands, according to the Evening Standard.
