Liam Rosenior is under pressure to deliver Champions League football to the club again for next season, and the London derby will be his first Premier League match in charge.
Chelsea have struggled against Brentford recently…
Can Liam Rosenior put things right on Saturday?
There is hope that the Blues will have Cole Palmer and Reece James available for selection, after the pair both missed the new manager’s first two games in charge.
Tyrique George starred against Brentford last time for Chelsea
Chelsea were forced to settle for a point in the previous meeting between the two sides, conceding in the last minute after struggling to deal with a long throw in.
Enzo Maresca went for a rotated line-up for this game, relying on his half-time substitutes to turn things around. One of those who impacted the match big time was Tyrique George.
The England U21 international was a key reason why they were able to nearly take all three points, however this time around it is almost certain he won’t take part.
George has been absent from the matchday squad for Premier League games for 12 consecutive games now.
The Blues pushed for the attacker to leave the club over the summer, however a deadline day move to Fulham fell through at the Eleventh hour.
George available for January transfer
George is expected to leave in January due to having no opportunities in West London, however is not short of potential suitors.
What are your thoughts on the planned protest at Stamford Bridge?
Will it get anything done? Will you be there? Let us know!
Frank Lampard has asked to sign George for his high-flying Coventry side, however there are already Premier League clubs registering interest.
It is a shame that a graduate of the illustrious Cobham academy looks set to not really make his mark at Stamford Bridge, however the Blues will be looking to someone to have a similar impact he did last time against Brentford.
