Sutton's prediction: 2-1

I really admire the job Thomas Frank has done with Brentford because, under him, they have evolved as a team and grown as a club.

But this is another pretty obvious prediction, because the Bees are awesome at home and useless away.

I really can't see past a Chelsea win here, with Cole Palmer's Panenka penalty against Tottenham illustrating how high their confidence is.

The way they are playing, they are definitely title contenders, no matter how many times their manager Enzo Maresca denies it.

It will be odd for fans to have a game starting so late on a Sunday night, but the Premier League have caved in to teams who want a bit of extra rest after playing in Europe on Thursday.

I'm not sure the Premier League have thought this through, and they might have opened a can of worms here.

All teams like to complain about not getting enough rest, especially over Christmas, so the Premier League probably need to come up with a minimum time period that teams should have between games, and stick to it.

Tosin Adarabioyo is the only player starting for Chelsea today who travelled to Kazakhstan for Thursday's game.

Southampton manager Russell Martin makes four changes from the team narrowly defeated by Aston Villa last Saturday.

Goalkeeper Alex McCarthy returns from injury, as does Jan Bednarek with Joe Aribo and Kamaldeen Sulemana also given an opportunity from the start.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Manning, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Sulemana, Downes, Aribo, Fernandes, Armstrong, Dibling.

Subs: Lumley, Bree, Wood, Sugawara, Amo-Ameyaw, Fraser, Lallana, Onuachu, Archer.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou also rings the changes from the side that drew 1-1 at Rangers on Thursday in the Europa League.

In come Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Bergvall, Djed Spence, Pape Sarr and Dominic Solanke. Germany forward Timo Werner, who was publicly criticised by his manager for his performance in the Europa League, is on a young-looking bench for Spurs.

Tottenham XI: Forster, Gray, Dragusin, Spence, Udogie, Bergvall, Sarr, Maddison, Son, Kulusevski, Solanke.

Subs: Austin, Porro, Lankshear, Dorrington, Olusesi, King, Hardy, Werner, Johnson.

Both matches are in this odd slot because of Thursday night European football.

Southampton v Tottenham was picked for TV by TNT Sports but they could not play on Saturday because of the short turnaround.

And then they could not play earlier today because it would clash with Sky Sports' games.

Chelsea v Brentford is not on TV but they moved their game later because the Blues had 16 hours of flying for Thursday's trip to Kazakhstan. They landed back in the UK at 05:30 GMT on Friday.

Chelsea make three changes from the 4-3 win at Tottenham last week, including Malo Gusto, Tosin Adarabioyo and Noni Madueke.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, Jackson.

Subs: Jorgensen, Disasi, Nkunku, Dewsbury-Hall, George, Acheampong, Guiu, Veiga, Rak-Sakyi.

Brentford make two changes from their 4-2 win against Newcastle last weekend, with Mikkel Damsgaard and Mads Roeslev coming in for Igor Thiago and Fabio Carvalho.

Brentford XI:Flekken, van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Roeslev, Norgaard, Yarmolyuk, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter, Mbeumo, Wissa.

Subs: Valdimarsson, Schade, Carvalho, Mee, Ajer, Meghoma, Konak, Janelt, Trevitt.

A Sunday night at 19:00 GMT? What kind of time is this to be playing Premier League football? This isn't La Liga.

Anyway it is what it is. Let's build up to Chelsea v Brentford and Southampton v Tottenham.
