Both sides have been affected by positive Covid tests in recent days, with Chelsea still set to be without Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Jorginho and Callum Hudson-Odoi as a result.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek could also miss out due to a knock, while Kai Havertz is out with a non-Covid-related illness.

Trevor Chalobah limped off in the clash against Wolves at the weekend and also isn’t likely to be available.

While it is unclear at this stage as to how many players Brentford will be without because of their own Covid outbreak, it is likely that they will be missing star man Ivan Toney.
