How both teams go into Chelsea vs Brentford
Even the most optimistic of Chelsea fans wouldn’t have predicted the Blues to have the start they’ve enjoyed. Although they are still a level below the title race, Chelsea sit second after 15 games, only trailing table topping Liverpool. They’ve only lost to Liverpool and Manchester City, with nine wins from their 15 matches. Chelsea returned from the international break with back-to-back wins, including a confident 3-0 win over Aston Villa and they’ve followed that up with wins over Southampton and Tottenham.
Brentford looked like they were in for another difficult season in the Premier League. The Bees took 10 points from their opening seven games, with three wins and one draw alongside three defeats. But they have found their feet once more and have slowly climbed the table. They now sit ninth, justfour points outside the top four. Thomas Frank’s side have lost just one of their last five games, a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa.
