Chelsea will look to secure back-to-back wins when they head to Brentford in the Premier League this weekend.

The Blues eased past Tottenham on Thursday night with Enzo Fernandez scoring the goal that moved his side back into fourth place at the expense of Manchester City and Newcastle United.

Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke all made their returns from injury that evening with the latter coming off the bench for the final 20 minutes of the contest.

It means Enzo Maresca has a relatively clean bill of health as they prepare for the short trip to Brentford on Sunday.

Wesley Fofana however is having another spell on the sidelines.
