Chelsea are currently on a run of four consecutive Premier League victories off the back of the most recent international break.

Enzo Maresca has started to look to a variety of the attackers in particular in his squad to rotate ahead of a busy run of fixtures around the festive period.

The boss will need to do so again after Pedro Neto picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 4-3 win over Tottenham.

The Chelsea Chronicle have predicted his replacement, as well as the entire XI who will be named to face Brentford on Sunday evening.

Chelsea predicted XI vs Brentford

Robert Sanchez has started every Premier League game this season in goal, and that run will continue on Sunday.

After not starting a recognised right-back in numerous games recently, Malo Gusto will return to the starting side as a natural player for that position.

Benoit Badiashile replaced the injured Wesley Fofana against Spurs, and while it wasn’t his best game he will retain his Premier League place.

He will again be partnered by Levi Colwill, who has enjoyed a superb season so far.

At left-back, Marc Cucurella will be looking to keep his footing for the entire 90 minutes after two notable slips last time out.

Moises Caicedo will return to his favoured midfield role instead of starting as a right-back.

He will be joined in the middle of the park by Enzo Fernandez, who is currently on the best run of form he has shown since his move to Stamford Bridge.

Ahead of those two, Cole Palmer will be looking to keep up his record of more goal involvements than appearances in the league this season.

Noni Madueke to replace Pedro Neto for Chelsea vs Brentford

Replacing Pedro Neto will be Noni Madueke, who has enjoyed a very promising season with encouragement from his manager.

The opposite side will see Jadon Sancho starting, who has scored in back-to-back league games for Chelsea.

Up front, Nicolas Jackson will be looking to find the net after he was personally disappointed with his display against Spurs.

Chelsea predicted XI vs Brentford: Sanchez; Gusto, Badiashile, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson
