Chelsea vs Brentford team news with updates on Reece James, Armando Broja and Shandon Baptiste

Chelsea and Brentford both come into this weekend’s clash at Stamford Bridge off confident performances against Arsenal and Burnley.

Chelsea have shown signs of resurgence under Mauricio Pochettino in recent weeks after a gutsy first 50 minutes against title-contenders Arsenal and a 4-1 win over Burnley the week before.

Throwing away two points to settle for a draw against the Gunners will have hurt the Blues but a home meeting with Brentford on Saturday gives the side a chance to bounce back from that result. The Bees themselves returned to winning ways against Burnley last time out with an impressive 3-0 win at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Both sides are capable of playing attractive attacking football but have been inconsistent at times this term, making Saturday's clash a tasty-looking affair. LondonWorld is on hand with comprehensive injury and team news.
