Chelsea skipper Conor Gallagher picks out the run of Marc Cucurella in the left channel of the Brentford box, but the Spaniard's low cross is cleared for a corner.

Gallagher comes over to take...

Oh, forgot to mention. No personnel changes at the break for either side.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Cucurella, Disasi, Silva, Colwill; Gallagher, Caicedo; Sterling, Palmer; Madueke, Jackson.

Brentford XI: Flekken; Ajer, Pinnock, Collins; Roerslev, Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt, Hickey; Mbeumo, Wissa.

Femi: Lack of cutting edge again by Chelsea again. Frustrating!

Max: Pochettino’s influence all over this game once again. Chelsea end up all Spursy by winning nothing and not being able to beat the top teams.

Like the first half, Chelsea quickly get into a pattern of possession.

Thiago Silva sprays the ball wide to Marc Cucurella, who is high on the left, but the attack breaks down when it moves right after a foul by Nicolas Jackson.

Take two. Chelsea get the ball rolling.

Back to the Bridge then.

Both sets of players are back out in the west London sunshine, re-energised by the half-time oranges and ready to put the tactical tweaks that they've just been told into practice.

One thing I would say about Burnley; they played a style of football that got them promoted, they've continued to do that.

I'm thinking of Ian Holloway at Blackpool. Last game of the season when he was asked is he going to continue his style of play and he said 'yes' and they got relegated because of it.

There comes a point when you've got change things. I don't see that happening this weekend.

It's a massive game for both Burnley and Bournemouth this afternoon.

The pair have just seven points between them from a possible 54 available to them. The Clarets have just the one win to their name, with Bournemouth yet to taste victory in the Premier League this season. They occupy two of the three relegation spots (along with Sheffield United).

A loser in this contest will have to face some hard truths.

Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto is ruled out by an ankle injury so Romanian Ionut Radu will make his Premier League debut.

Lewis Cook begins a three-match ban after being sent off for violent conduct in the defeat by Wolves.

Tyler Adams, Ryan Fredericks and Emiliano Marcondes remain out.

Burnley quartet Manuel Benson, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Hjalmar Ekdal and Jordan Beyer are set to miss out through injury.

Connor Roberts serves a one-match suspension, while this game comes too soon for Michael Obafemi, who made his comeback from a serious hamstring injury by playing for the under-21s in midweek.

Obviously, Gabriel Jesus is a highly talented player.

What was interesting is that when they played Jesus, [Gabriel] Martinelli and [Bukayo] Saka - the front three - it doesn't flow strangely. It's not really clicking, so in a way it's maybe helped [Mikel] Arteta out with decision-making.

You want your best players playing their best football in the Premier League that's what its all about. Hopefully it isn't a long term injury and Jesus will be back doing his wonderful stuff.

Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus is unavailable after being forced off during the win against Sevilla with a hamstring issue.

Thomas Partey is also out for several weeks with a muscle strain, while long-term absentee Jurrien Timber remains sidelined.

Sheffield United could be missing up to 10 players through injury, although George Baldock has resumed training.

Oli McBurnie is likely to miss out after injuring his groin last weekend.

While Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Frank push magnets around the tactics boards in the bowels of Stamford Bridge, let's have a quick look at our pair of 3pm games...

Brentford are growing into this game by being very organised defensively, They are playing with a back five again away from home and it's proving difficult for Chelsea to break it down.

Chelsea have to keep their width with Sterling and Madueke and try to create more chances for the front two. Nicolas Jackson is their top scorer this season with three goals.

Cole Palmer has something about him this season, as if he has arrived at Chelsea with a point to prove. He looks like he belongs there and is thriving, he has had a really good start to life at Chelsea.

He has this confidence, and that is tough given the situation he arrived into, with Chelsea being really poor last season. To go in there and stand out and produce quality performances, is some going at his age.

I think Thomas Frank will be delighted going in 0-0 at half time after the pressure Brentford have held off in that first half. He will also be pleased that they have offered a good threat on the counter.

For Mauricio Pochettino he will be concerned that Chelsea have yet to score again after dominating a long period of that first half. Plenty of him to think about at the break.

Brentford's front two of Wissa and Mbeumo are working their socks off to track back and help out defensively. They also look a threat for the Bees whenever the ball is the final third or tucked in behind Chelsea's back line.

Somehow we're still level at the break.

Chelsea have enjoyed nearly 70% possession and spent almost 80% of the game in Brentford's half.

Despite that, Bees keeper Mark Flekken has not been overly stretched and the nearest Chelsea have been to scoring was Noni Madueke smacking the bar.

A heavy ball from Conor Gallagher sums up Chelsea's afternoon really - not clinical or precise enough in the Brentford box.

Gallagher's pass was intended for Raheem Sterling but is overhit and goes out for a goal-kick.
