Chelsea vs Brentford replay lineups and game thread

Scott Heavey

Since we couldn't manage to defeat mighty Brentford in our first try, we'll give it a go at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea weren't able to beat Brentford on the road, so today they'll be faced with yet another additional fixture as they look to set up a date with Middlesbrough. Despite being a bit lucky to force a replay with the League One side in the first place, you'd still expect to see a fair amount of squad rotation as Rafa Benitez looks to avoid completely burning out his side.

With that in mind, here are the lineups for today:

Chelsea: Petr Cech, Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, David Luiz, Oscar, Juan Mata, Victor Moses, Demba Ba

Chelsea subs: Ross Turnbull, Cesar Azpilicueta, Ryan Bertrand, Ramires, Yossi Benayoun, Fernanado Torres, Eden Hazard

Brentford: Moore, Logan, Dean, Craig, Bidwell, Douglas, Forshaw, Diagouraga, Adeyemi, Donaldson, Trotta

Brentford subs: Lee, Hodson, Barron, Reeves, Forrester, Saunders, Hayes

As always, keep things civil and don't link to or direct others in how to find illegal streams. Hopefully Chelsea actually manage to score a few early goals so that poor Juan Mata actually gets a break. Let's go Blues!
