Brentford v Chelsea team news: Palmer + Cucurella subs

We’ve got a bonus Premier League match this evening in the super-late 8pm BST slot.

Brentford v Chelsea rounds off the day’s action.

The Bees have made two changes for this evening’s game, one enforced as **Mikkel Damsgaard** misses out due to illness.

**Dango Ouattara** drops to the bench, too, as Keith Andrews channels the spirit of his predecessor by moving to – we think – a 5-3-2 against a big-six club.

**Ethan Pinnock** and **Mathias Jensen** come in.

As for Chelsea, Enzo Maresca has made four alterations.

**Wesley Fofana** and **Jorrel Hato** are surprise starters at the back, with **Malo Gusto** and **Marc Cucurella** dropping to the bench.

**Jamie Gittens** comes in for the absent **Estevao** out wide, meanwhile.

And with **Cole Palmer** only deemed fit enough for the bench, **Facundo Buonanotte** is given the nod to replace the injured **Liam Delap**.

**Alejandro Garnacho** is among the substitutes.

**Brentford XI**: Kelleher, Kayode, Collins, Pinnock, van den Berg, Yarmoliuk, Henderson, Jensen, Lewis-Potter, Schade, Thiago

_Subs: Valdimarsson, Hickey, Henry, Ajer, Janelt, Onyeka, Carvalho, Outtara, Nelson._

**Chelsea XI**: Sanchez, Chalobah, Adarabioyo, Fofana, Hato, Caicedo, Fernandez, Neto, Buonanotte, Gittens, Joao Pedro

_Subs: Jorgensen, James, Gusto, Cucurella, Acheampong, Santos, George, Palmer, Garnacho_.
