They are coming off a mixed Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg loss to Arsenal, with defensive lapses and goalkeeper errors standing out. FA Cup progress, where they thumped Charlton 5\u20131, gives them momentum, but league concerns remain. However, it doesn\u2019t help that manager Liam Rosenior must manage a squad that\u2019s had injury and fitness challenges recently. The new Blues manager has had to deal with absences of the likes of Cole Palmer and Reece James, while Moises Caicedo will return to the team in what will be a huge boost.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"fco-image__image\" alt=\"Brentford v Chelsea - Premier League\"   loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" width=\"4178\" height=\"3033\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2235255497.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4178 \/ 3033;width:100%;height:100%\"\/>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Brentford, meanwhile, have been in good form, winning several of their recent Premier League matches and scoring freely.
