Chelsea welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge this Saturday in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup.

The two sides met back in 2013 in the same competition, when the Bees gave the Blues are scare at Griffin Park. On the verge of a historic FA Cup victory, it took a late, late equaliser from Fernando Torres to rescue a 2-2 draw for Chelsea and earn them a shot at redemption back at the Bridge.

Chelsea thumped them 4-0 in the reverse fixture thanks to goals from Juan Mata, Oscar, Frank Lampard and John Terry, the latter being the only player who remains at the club today.

While Antonio Conte will certainly know this and be keen to avoid the mistakes of four years ago, it should prove to be a comfortable fixture for his side, who sit eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Having made very few changes to his starting XI all campaign - who can blame him considering Chelsea's form? - perhaps it is a chance for the Italian to test out some of his youngsters to see what they are made of.

Here are THREE we think should be given the nod against Brentford...

Bournemouth fans would have been absolutely gutted when Nathan Ake was recalled from his loan spell down on the south coast to rejoin his parent club, Chelsea. The defender had been one of the Cherries' best performers this season, making twelve appearances and scoring three goals for Eddie Howe's side, including a memorable winner in the 4-3 victory over Liverpool.

Conte himself has said the defender has improved greatly in the past two seasons and is now "ready to play for Chelsea". After impressive loan spells at Reading, Watford and, of course, most recently Bournemouth, Ake looks like he may finally get his chance to break into the Chelsea side, especially with Gary Cahill likely to be rested for the clash at Brentford after his clash of heads with the sadly injured Ryan Mason.

Nathaniel Chalobah

One of Conte's most used substitutes this season absolutely deserves a start. The youngster has been mightily impressive during his cameo appearances thus far, looking assured and confident while on the ball - his most notable moment being the sublime backheel assist for Victor Moses during the Blues' 3-0 victory over Leicester City.

Conte is obviously an admirer of the talented midfielder having called upon him eleven times as a substitute this campaign so far, however, he will only be really able to show what he's capable of if given a full 90 minutes. Not only that, Chalobah could be the future of the Chelsea midfield partnered alongside this next man...

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Loftus-Cheek was one of the stand-out players at the back end of last season in a struggling Chelsea side as Guus Hiddink often put him in the middle of the park alongside Cesc Fabregas. Big and powerful, the Englishman is a force to be reckoned with when he is at it.

This season, he has barely had a sniff, though, partly because of injuries. But, following the departure of Oscar to the Chinese Super League, Conte challenged the 20-year-old to fill the Brazilian's boots when speaking to the club's official website:

"I trust all my players. Ruben is a player with great quality. Now I think after Oscar left he could have the right space to show me and the club his potential."

Quite a challenge right? He is undoubtedly up to it, but needs to get time under his belt to once again find his confidence.
