Chelsea vs. Brentford, Premier League: Live blog; highlights

Welcome to the weekend, and match number ten of the 2023-24 Premier League season! Chelsea come in unbeaten in four in all competitions, and looking for a rare home victory these days.

Can we get the weekend started off right?

Pochettino reverts to the back-four seen before the break, with Cucurella (or Disasi?) on the right (and both Gusto and half-fit James on the bench). Enzo misses out (presumably due the birth of his child the other day). Mudryk does, too, for some reason.

Here we go!

Sánchez | Cucurella, Colwill, Silva, Disasi | Caicedo, Gallagher (c) | Madueke, Palmer, Sterling | Jackson
