Brentford come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over David Moyes' West Ham United in their most recent fixture.

Chelsea, on the other hand, beat ten-man Southampton 3-1 in the league. Goals from centre-back Trevoh Chalobah, German forward Timo Werner and left-back Ben Chilwell sealed the deal for Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea. Star midfielder James Ward-Prowse, who scored the consolation goal for Southampton, was sent off in the second-half.

Brentford vs Chelsea Prediction
Brentford have been one of the better teams in the Premier League this season. Not much was expected from them after their promotion to the top-flight, but Thomas Frank's men have not looked out of place. Much of their performances so far have been down to striker Ivan Toney, who has been key to Brentford's successful results.
The Bees are currently 7th in the league table. While there is an expectation that they will drop down the table as the season progresses, the threat of relegation is not as pronounced as it was when the season started.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are among the title contenders this time around. They signed Romelu Lukaku for £103.5 million this summer, and the Belgian has clearly elevated Thomas Tuchel's side. Chelsea are currently at the top of the Premier League.
Their have been some subdued performances recently, and this, combined with Lukaku's five-game drought, has raised questions. However, they should be in and around the conversation for the Premier League title as the season progresses.
