The Fix

Chris and Joe reveal their fix for Chelsea's leaky defence ahead of Friday night's trip to Brentford — chasing a first league win at the Gtech since Ben Chilwell's solitary goal there in 2021.

Off the back of a frustrating draw at Hull, they run through why Levi Colwill is under pressure, make the case for Reece James dropping into a back three, and back Jordan Henderson and Romeo Lavia to start together in midfield against Henderson's old club.

Marco Palestra could get his first minutes on the left, Malo Gusto's struggles come under fire, and Morgan Rogers' remarkable start — three goals and four assists in six games — gets the praise it deserves.

Plus: predictions for a game that sends Chelsea into a 22-day international break.
