Thomas Tuchel gives verdict on Chelsea's 1-0 win at Brentford
Chelsea continued their spell at the top of the Premier League table with a staunch 1-0 win over Brentford at the weekend - and may look to rotate against a weaker Malmo side on Wednesday evening. Brentford were the better side in the all-action west London clash on Saturday, although they couldn't find a way past Edouard Mendy's heroics. However, the Blues' home advantage against Malmo will be pivotal to their success against the Swedes, and there may be some changes introduced as a result.Express Sporttakes a look at who could make an appearance.
Who else would it be after his heroics at the weekend?
Edouard Mendy's story is an inspiring one, having been unemployed seven years ago to winning the Champions League over the summer.
But as far as performances go, none have been more inspiring than the one he produced against the Bees.
And for that reason alone, there is less reason to drop him than ever before.

Defence: Azpilicueta, Silva, Chalobah
Cesar Azpilicueta's leadership at the back has been missed, and he could be reinstated to the defence as opposed to the wing-back role.
Elsewhere, Thiago Silva is set to return from Covid-19 protocols that he had to endure whilst on Brazil duty.
And in a toss-up between Malang Sarr and Trevoh Chalobah, it is the latter who should get the nod given he has been playing longer than Sarr in the Tuchel set-up.
A mixture of experience, adventure and athleticism would work wonders in a fixture such as this.
