Preview:
Brentford face Chelsea in a London Derby today in the Premier League. The two sides meet for the second time at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Brentford are in topsy-turvy form and have two wins and two losses in their last five matches. They will be looking for some consistency after picking up a win over the weekend against Brighton.
Chelsea are on a 4-match winning streak and have conceded just once in the last five matches in all competitions. Graham Potter will be looking to reshuffle the side as he faces time without Reece James and NGolo Kante this year.
Brentford lost 1-0 at home to Chelsea last season.
Suspension and injuries:
Brentford: Christian Nørgaard, Pontus Jansson, Thomas Strakosha and Aaron Hickey are ruled out.
Chelsea: Wesley Fofana, NGolo Kanté and Reece James are ruled out.
Starting line-up:
Brentford: David Raya, Kristoffer Ajer, Ethan Pinnock, Ben Mee, Rico Henry, Frank Onyeka, Vitaly Janelt, Mathias Jensen, Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney, Yoane Wissa

Top picks:
Mason Mount: The Englishman finally got on the scoresheet on Sunday and will be aiming for more today. He scored twice, including a stunning freekick in the second half.
Christian Pulisic: The American is looking to prove a point and should be a good pick today. He has scored once and will be keen on fighting for his spot in the team.
Ivan Toney: The Brentford star has been brilliant this season and should be in all teams. He has scored 8 times this season and got two goals over the weekend.
Captaincy options:
