Frank makes one change from Leicester as Bees enforce tactical switch for Chelsea clash

Thomas Frank has selected his Brentford team to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

Frank has opted to revert back to 3-5-2, with Mads Roerslev coming in for Yoane Wissa from the defeat against Leicester City last time out.

In goal, David Raya retains his place after a whirlwind week for the Spaniard. Raya made his debut for the Spanish national team last week and will be a busy man as he aims to repel Chelsea's attacking threat.

In defence, Mads Roerslev comes in at RWB with Rico Henry on the other flank at LWB. Kristoffer Ajer, Pontus Jansson and Ethan Pinnock form the trio of central defenders and they will certainly be in for a busy afternoon.

In attack, Wissa has dropped out as a result but Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney keep their places as they aim to cause the Blues' defence problems.

Brentford XI: Raya; Ajer, Jansson, Pinnock; Roerslev, Eriksen, Norgaard, Janelt, Henry; Mbeumo, Toney.

Subs: Fernandez, Canos, Jensen, Wissa, Ghoddos, Zanka, Fosu, Baptiste, Mads Bech.
