Chelsea vs Brentford 12:30, Preview
The fact Chelsea have never beaten Brentford in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge seems quite remarkable… until you remember there have only been two such fixtures.
Still, little old Brentford have done well to capitalise on Chelsea’s struggles over the last couple of years. Question is, can the Bees do a hat-trick on the sleeping giants?
Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino is likely to keep Reece James on the bench, but Nicolas Jackson could return to the starting line-up.
Armando Broja, Carney Chukwuemeka, Ben Chilwell, Christopher Nkunku, Trevoh Chalobah, Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana remain out.
For Brentford Aaron Hickey is back from a one-game ban, while Rico Henry, Ivan Toney, Kevin Schade, Shandon Baptiste, Mikkel Damsgaard and Joshua Dasilva are long-term absentees.
Last weekend, Thomas Frank’s men turned on the style to beat Burnley 3-0 at home.
However, that was only their first Premier League win in seven games.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have been steadily improving. Pochettino’s men started their turnaround against Brighton in the Carabao Cup last month, winning 1-0.
Since then, the Blues beat Fulham 2-0, thrashed Burnley 4-1 and drew with high-flying Arsenal 2-2. Clearly, something is beginning to click at Stamford Bridge.
With that in mind, how can we possibly go against Chelsea? Our recommendation is to back the hosts to bag their fourth win in five games across all competitions.
Brentford won’t make it easy and both teams to score is certainly on the cards.
