New Chelsea boss Leroy Rosenior takes charge of an English Premier League match for the first time on Saturday, as the Blues host a Brentford team that continues to wildly defy their lowly preseason expectations.

Chelsea’s team news offers a more optimistic picture. Robert Sanchez and Marc Cucurella are both available again, bolstering options at the back after recent absences. Moises Caicedo returns following suspension, restoring balance to midfield at a time when control has often been elusive.
