Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo were Chelsea’s two best players in their 2-2 draw with Brentford over the weekend.

Enzo Maresca did not start Palmer, with the attacking midfielder being eased back into things after a small groin injury.

However, he came on in the second half and scored Chelsea‘s equaliser before Caicedo put the Blues 2-1 in front.

Club legend Gianfranco Zola has been impressed with Caicedo, who has been rewarded for his performance at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Moises Caicedo and Noni Madueke named in Team of the Week

WhoScored’s Premier League Team of the Week for gameweek four has just dropped, and Caicedo has been included in it alongside former teammate Noni Madueke.

Madueke is yet to score a goal or provide an assist for Arsenal, but the winger is impressing everyone with his dribbling and directness.

In contrast, new Chelsea signing Jamie Gittens has struggled during this early stage of the season. Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy recently compared the two, claiming that Madueke has “a bit more” than Gittens at the moment.

As for Caicedo, he has not looked back since improving after a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge.

“He’s a phenomenal player, up there with the best midfielder in the world,” Chelsea captain Reece James was quoted as saying by Chelsea’s official club website.

Moises Caicedo’s numbers vs Brentford

Caicedo did more than score a thunderous goal in Saturday night’s west London derby. As per, the Ecuadorian constantly won the ball back and stopped opposition attacks.

He finished the game having made four tackles and four interceptions. It was another strong performance from the 23-year-old.

Caicedo was at his best against Brentford, and Maresca will need the same again on Wednesday.

Chelsea take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League, a difficult opening game. However, if Caicedo and Palmer both turn up, then the Club World Cup and Conference League winners have a chance of securing a positive result. It should be a really exciting encounter.
