Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brentford, Gusto starts
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has named his starting line-up for tonight's Premier League clash against Brentford at Stamford Bridge.

Ahead of the game, Maresca has made three changes from the 4-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the top-flight last weekend.
Robert Sanchez starts in goal for the Blues, but there are a couple of changes in the backline. Malo Gusto comes in at right-back with Moises Caicedo moving into midfield.
Tosin Adarabioyo has got the nod to partner Levi Colwill in central defence with Benoit Badiashile making way. Marc Cucurella continues from the left side of the backline for the Blues.
In midfield, Caicedo will be accompanying captain Enzo Fernandez. Romeo Lavia is not in the matchday squad due to a fresh injury.
Further forward, there is another change in personnel With Pedro Neto suspended. Noni Madueke starts on the right wing in his absence.
The rest of the attack stays the same. Cole Palmer was brilliant against Spurs with two goals and an assist. He starts in the no.10 role again.
Jadon Sancho will feature from the left wing once more with Nicolas Jackson leading the attack for the Blues ahead of Christopher Nkunku.
Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brentford: Sanchez; Gusto, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
