Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca decided to rotate his squad for the London derby against Brentford.

The Blues dropped key figures like Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, Levi Colwill, Pedro Neto and even Marc Cucurella.

See the team below

Chelsea starting XI: Sanchez; James, Tosin, Chalobah, Gusto; Caicedo, Dewsbury-Hall; Madueke, Fernandez, Sancho, Nkunku.

Subs: Jorgensen, Acheampong, Badiashile, Colwill, Cucurella, Palmer, Neto, George, Jackson.

With the Conference League in view, we can only hope this decision doesn’t backfire.
