Key players like Joao Pedro, Reece James, and others are unavailable due to injuries or international duty, impacting Chelsea's lineup. The match kicks off at 8pm BST from the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, with live coverage on Sky Sports. Bet365 offers a bonus code for new users to bet $10 and receive $365 in free bets regardless of their first bet's outcome.
