Chelsea
After taking a 'C' team out to Almaty on Thursday, Maresca will revert back to a similar side that played against Spurs last week, with none of the travelling party from Kazakhstan expected to feature.
Pedro Neto was in the side on Thursday because he will serve a suspension this weekend following his yellow card against Spurs, meaning Noni Madueke is set to replace him on the wing.
The only other change could be at right-back, where Malo Gusto is in contention to start after being introduced at the interval in North London, and may replace Romeo Lavia.
Mykhaylo Mudryk is expected to be available after illness, but Reece James and Wesley Fofana remain out with respective hamstring injuries.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Gusto, Badiashile, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson
Brentford
It is very unlikely that Brentford boss Frank will start with an XI as attacking as the one he named last week, with Bryan Mbeumo and Keane Lewis-Potter utilised as wing-backs, and Yoane Wissa, Igor Thiago and Fabio Carvalho in the front three.
The latter two may drop out in place of a defensive option such as Mads Roerslev, and Mikkel Damsgaard, who is also set to return after being given a rest against Newcastle following five consecutive starts.
Vitaly Janelt was unavailable last week with a minor issue and should be fit to feature, but Mathias Jensen is also set to miss out once more due to a hamstring problem.
Brentford possible starting lineup:
Flekken; Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Van den Berg; Norgaard, Janelt; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter; Wissa
Prediction: Chelsea 3-1 Brentford
