Team News

Chelsea
Brentford

  • 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.
