Chelsea predicted lineup vs Brentford - Premier League

Chelsea will look to make it six wins from six when they make the short trip across London to face Brentford on Wednesday.

Graham Potter has enjoyed a near-perfect start to life at Stamford Bridge and can see his side move just one point behind Manchester City with victory here - a surprisingly positive situation for any aspiring title competitor.

Here's the lineup he could use to achieve that.

GK: Kepa Arrizabalaga - Be honest, you didn't see this resurgence coming. Kepa was utterly sensational against Aston Villa and won't be losing his place anytime soon.

RB: Cesar Azpilicueta - Limited defensive options coupled with injury concerns could see Potter return to a four-man defence, with Azpilicueta on the right.

CB: Trevoh Chalobah - Chalobah has not lost a Premier League game in which he has started. He deserves to continue in the team.

CB: Kalidou Koulibaly - Thiago Silva probably needed a rest even before complaining of a tight thigh against Villa. Expect Koulibaly to start here.

LB: Ben Chilwell - With all due respect to Marc Cucurella, he had a rotter against Villa.

DM: Ruben Loftus-Cheek - Few players have benefited from Potter's arrival quite like Loftus-Cheek, who appears to be one of the first names on the team sheet.

DM: Jorginho - With Denis Zakaria out in the wilderness, Jorginho is probably Chelsea's most defensive-oriented midfielder. His willingness to stay back could help calm things down in defence.

RM: Conor Gallagher - He's obviously not a winger but Gallagher was sensational in this role against Wolves, using his energy to lead the high press alongside...

AM: Mason Mount - Mount has been drowning in goals over the past few games and is clearly an integral part of Potter's system.

LM: Raheem Sterling - Still yet to really find his feet at Chelsea, Sterling has played a handful of roles under Potter. Even if he starts on the left wing, there's no guaranteeing the job he'll actually be asked to do.

ST: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Aubameyang remains the starter in attack but, with Kai Havertz continuing to underwhelm, Armando Broja must be promoted to his deputy.
