You don’t have to worry about Chelsea fans underestimating Brentford. Every since they got into the Premier League they’ve been giving us huge trouble, and all Blues now respect them as a serious challenge.

Tonight is going to be hard, not least for whoever is at right back, facing up to the speedy Kevin Schade, who is making a career of bursting in at the far post to finish moves. On the London is Blue podcast, pundit CFCCentral pointed out this could be a big problem for Chelsea.

“Kevin Schade, you can expect that movement, and whoever plays for us at right back will have to be very clued in to that quirk. Malo Gusto, we all know the problems he’s had with back post marking he’s had in the past. A prediction from me: Schade beats Gusto to the far post,” the pundit said.

“Maybe we see Josh Acheampong come on to negate that,” he added.

Or maybe we even see Acheampong start?
