Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by their west London neighbours Brentford on Sunday, dealing a blow to their hunt for a top-four finish that would guarantee them a spot in next season's Champions League.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca made five changes to the team that beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Thursday with strikers Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto coming on only as second-half substitutes.
Their introduction gave Chelsea a bit more bite in attack after a flat first 45 minutes but they failed to really test Mark Flekken in the Brentford goal.
