Welcome to Liam Rosenior’s third match in cost, his first (ever) within the Premier League. Can we get him that inaugural win? Brentford actually gained’t make it simple, and so they’re in glorious kind.
The excellent news is that Cole Palmer and Reece James have been each handed match and so they each begin, as does Alejandro Garnacho after his brace on Wednesday. The unhealthy information is that there isn’t any Estêvão, not even on the bench. Hopefully nothing critical.

Sánchez | Cucurella, Tosin, Chalobah, James (c) | Enzo, Caicedo | Garnacho, Palmer, Neto | João Pedro
