Brentford head coach Keith Andrews has made one change from the Bees' last Premier League game for the west London derby against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (3pm kick-off).

Mikkel Damsgaard comes into the starting XI, with new signing Kaye Furo on the bench for the Bees.

Keane Lewis-Potter started the previous league game - a 3-0 win over Sunderland at Gtech Community Stadium on 7 January - but is on the bench for Saturday's game.

Dango Ouattara also returns to the squad, having been away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations with Burkina Faso since the middle of December.

Furo signed for the Bees from Belgian Pro League side Club Brugge on a five-and-a-half-year deal last weekend, and is involved in his first squad for the club.

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sánchez; James, Chalobah, Tosin, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernández; Pedro Neto, Palmer, Garnacho; João Pedro

Subs: Jörgensen, Hato, Acheampong, Fofana, Badiashile, Santos, George, Delap, Guiu

Brentford (4-3-3): Kelleher; Kayode, Ajer, Collins, Henry; Janelt, Yarmoliuk, Jensen; Damsgaard, Thiago, Schade

Subs: Valdimarsson, Hickey, Pinnock, van den Berg, Lewis-Potter, Nelson, Donovan, Ouattara, Furo
