Team News

Chelsea
Brentford
  • Chelsea's long-list of absent players has reduced in recent weeks, and Mauricio Pochettino will now be without up to seven players for this one.
  • The hosts will be boosted by the return of captain Reece James, who is came on against Arsenal last weekend and could now be ready to start.
  • Brentford are likely to be without no fewer than seven players for the trip across west London.
  • Aaron Hickey served his suspension for five yellow cards last weekend, and should return to the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Chelsea extended their unbeaten run of matches to four with a draw at home to Arsenal last weekend, but will feel frustrated not to have taken all three points at Stamford Bridge, having gone 2-0 ahead.
  • The Blues' uptick in form has seen them move into 10th place in the Premier League, with 12 points.
  • After eight matches without a victory in regular time, Brentford convincingly saw off Burnley last weekend to get back to winning ways.
  • Thomas Frank's side kept a first clean sheet since mid-August and currently sit 14th, just two points behind Saturday's opposition.
  • With a number of players finding form at just the right time, Chelsea's positive run of form could be set to continue here.

  • We're very bad in all aspects: realization, corners, free-kicks, tactical ideas. I hope mr. Poch will leave us soon. Also maybe we need to improve our medical stuff instead of spending million pounds buying useless players like jackson, madueke?

  • We are so back

  • Brentford just got very lucky

  • @Jaffe148 or Chelsea are just not good enough

  • You have to laugh at Chelsea :)

  • Chelsea win

  • Brentford are unbeaten in their last 12 EPL London derby matches.

  • @Marbella The stats dont lie :)

  • @Marbella Except it is 13 derby matches now ;-)

  • Such a turnaround by the Blues, they won last 2 away games and the game against Arsenal at home was a huge let down despite forcing 2 goals. It’s a must win game for Chelsea as they face 3 back to back games in coming weeks against strong sides.

  • time for a draw, 1-1

  • Brentford as a team is hard nut to crack for Chelsea judging from their previous meetings and this is as well early kickoff which usually ends in draw. But I see Chelsea going through with 2-1

  • Dear administrators! In your statistics Barcelona-Shakhtar from 25.10.2023, you missed a shot on target from Shakhtar's player Zubkov at 11:15 of the match. Please correct this information. In UEFA site Zubkov made 2 attempts. In your site only 1 at 79 minutes. But first his shot on target was at 11:15. Please see video and correct this information. Thank you in advance for your reply.

  • @27zub KEKL

  • 2-1

  • 2-1 Chelsea to win but Brentford giving them a hard time.

  • 2:0

  • 3-1 brentford

  • @FF2021 Bro why did you predict this 4 weeks ago :D

  • @This_Pro_Boiii Why not?
