Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will be hoping his side can react well from their 4-1 defeat at the hands of Brentford last time out in the Premier League. A Vitaly Janelt double, followed by goals from Christian Eriksen and Yoane Wissa, managed to turn the game around for the Bees after Antonio Rudiger’s thunderous strike.
Discussing the nature of the defeat after the game, the Blues’ boss couldn’t quite pinpoint what went wrong, saying: “We gave a big chance straight away after the goal, and then the next one was a goal. From there, we did not defend mature enough.
“We were not aware of the danger in these moments which is also very strange for us. We got punished. They made the most of these ten minutes which is maybe not normal. So it's a summary of strange events but it's on us and it's our fault.”
