Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea will be looking to continue their unbeaten streak when they make a short trip to Gtech Stadium for their West London derby on Saturday.
Chelsea are coming off a fresh 2-0 controversial victory over Fulham last time out. The Blues began their season with a goalless draw against Crystal Palace before securing wins against West Ham United and Fulham. Enzo Maresca’s men are comfortably sitting in second place with 7 points in the Premier League standings.
Brentford, meanwhile, started their new season with mixed results. The Bees have collected just three points from their opening three league matches, winning one and losing two. The hosts currently hold the 15th spot in the leaderboard.
