Thiago Silva, Raheem Sterling, and Kalidou Koulibaly have all dropped team news hints ahead of Chelsea's clash with Brentford this afternoon. The quartet have posted pre-match graphic previews of the clash to their respective Instagram stories.
Graham Potter will be hoping that Silva is fit for the tie amid concerns that the veteran centre-half may need to be rested following the 2-0 win at Aston Villa. The Blues boss is aware of the importance of managing the 38-year-old's minutes amid such a congested fixture schedule.
The west Londoners sit fourth in the Premier League on 19 points with a game in hand over Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, who currently share second place. Chelsea are five games unbeaten under Potter, and with the title race warming up, it's set to be a feisty affair at the Brentford Community Stadium.
