Chelsea have a tough game this weekend, make no mistake.

It’s easy to look back at the start of our season with games against Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City and think that now things are lightening up.

But Brentford will be a serious challenge, especially after an international break where 90% of our squad went to play with their countries, as opposed to 60% of theirs.

Even worse news comes from West London Sport, who report that two first team players for the Bees will be back in action.

Kristoffer Ajer and Vitaly Janelt have both missed games recently, but will be back for their home game against us.

The pair missed their last game, against West Ham, but have been training in the interim and will likely start against us.

The only good news is that Shandon Baptiste has been ruled out for the home side.

As long as we don’t take this game lightly, we should be ok…
