Kepa redemption continues
The defence in front of Kepa Arrizabalaga continues to change but the Spaniard's performances in the Chelsea goal remain remarkably consistent. That is a sign of the confidence with which he is playing – and that confidence was crucial in helping the Blues keep another clean sheet and claim a point against Brentford.
With Reece James and Wesley Fofana ruled out due to injury, Ben Chilwell not in the squad due to his workload being managed, and Thiago Silva only among the substitutes, Graham Potter selected a somewhat makeshift backline that was made up of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Cesar Azpilicueta, Trevoh Chalobah, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella.
