ChelseaNo absentees
Brentford have made a habit of sharing the points, drawing their last three, and they welcome a Chelsea side who both score and concede in bunches to west London on Friday night, kicking off at 8pm UK time. The Bees are unbeaten, the visitors have already racked up 10 goals and shipped nine, so the ingredients for an entertaining opener to the weekend are all there.
Anthony Eadson’s Brentford vs Chelsea predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects a lively, high-scoring derby, and likes a Reece James shot on target and a Janelt booking.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Reece James 1+ shot on target | 9/5 (Paddy Power) | Since the start of the season, Reece James has made the switch to central midfield and should line-up there against Brentford in what I can see being a high-scoring contest. He has started three Premier League matches this campaign, recording at least one shot on target in all of those. James forced David Raya into two saves in the game at the Emirates and with him being on free-kick duty, I really like his price to register one on target here. |
| Vitaly Janelt to be carded | 10/3 (10bet) | Janelt has been booked in three out of four Premier League matches this season, and a Friday night west London derby with Chelsea should be a lively affair. The Blues have failed to win at Brentford on their last four attempts and it’s interesting to see Janelt’s disciplinary record against them. The German has been booked in three of his last four against Chelsea, and after eight yellows in just 18 starts for Brentford last season, he looks a solid proposition to find his way into the book here. |

How Brentford go into the game
Brentford have drawn their last three, 1-1 at Leeds, 1-1 with Sunderland and 2-2 at Bournemouth, after opening with a 3-0 win over Tottenham. Solid but a touch blunt in front of goal.
Hard to beat at home and always a threat from set pieces, Brentford will fancy extending their unbeaten run against a leaky Chelsea.
How Chelsea go into the game
Chelsea have been box office, beating Fulham 3-2 and Brighton 4-3 before losing 2-1 at Arsenal and drawing 2-2 with Hull. Ten scored, nine conceded tells the story.
Dangerous going forward but wide open at the back, Chelsea carry real quality even if the clean sheets have dried up.

Brentford will fancy their chances given Chelsea have failed to win their last four visits here, and in a game with goals at both ends a share of the spoils looks likely. Score prediction: Brentford 2-2 Chelsea.
