Brentford vs Chelsea preview

Brentford and Chelsea clash in what has increasingly become a must-win match for both sides for different reasons.

The Bees find themselves in a relegation battle after a disastrous few months. Thomas Frank’s side are in 16th position and five points above 18th-placed Luton Town following Everton’s reduced points deduction.

Brentford have lost 13 of their last 17 games in all competitions – including a 4-2 defeat to West Ham at the London Stadium on Monday.

They face a stern run of fixtures with Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Brighton and Aston Villa all to play in their next six top-flight outings.

But are they playing Chelsea at the right time?

The Blues suffered a chastening defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final last weekend before scraping to a win over much-changed Championship Leeds in the FA Cup.

Questions are being asked of Mauricio Pochettino, whose side are anchored in 11th position with just 25 points and 10 league wins from 25 fixtures.

Brentford won the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge earlier this season, and victory on Saturday would be only their second ever league double over Chelsea since 1938-39.

Brentford vs Chelsea betting tips

Toney on target

Brentford might not be thriving, but Ivan Toney certainly is. The 27-year-old forward has struck four goals in his seven starts since returning from his lengthy ban.

If the Bees score, he’s likely to be involved and those chances are higher this weekend given Chelsea haven’t registered a clean sheet in their last ten Premier League games on the road.

Home win

Brentford have Chelsea’s number.

The Bees have won three of their last four meetings against Saturday’s opponents, and they’ve only conceded once against Chelsea in the last 360 minutes of league action.

Brentford’s recent run doesn’t look good on paper, though two of those games were against Champions Manchester City and league leaders Liverpool. Chelsea are low on confidence and the hosts could capitalise to propel themselves away from the relegation zone.

Booked

Neal Maupay has fully embraced his pantomime villain persona. The forward, 27, has registered five cautions in 23 league appearances this season – including once against Chelsea in the reverse fixture when not even on the pitch!

Maupay has received three yellows in seven games against Chelsea in his career, the highest number of any club he’s faced other than Tottenham.
