Brentford<\/a> host Chelsea<\/a> at Brentford Community Stadium on Friday, September 18 (3:00 PM ET \/ 2:00 PM CT \/ 12:00 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brentford will be without the injured Joshua Dasilva, Antoni Milambo, Nathan Collins and Sepp van den Berg, with Mathias Jensen a doubt, though Kevin Schade and Vitaly Janelt remain the two men most likely to carry the home side’s threat. Chelsea have only the injured Marco Palestra ruled out, but Moises Caicedo, Emmanuel Emegha and Jordan Henderson are all doubts \u2014 with Jo\u00e3o Pedro, Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer set to lead the visitors’ attack regardless.<\/p>\n

Brentford have been hard to beat at Gtech Community Stadium and Kevin Schade’s movement gives them a route to goals against anyone, but Chelsea arrive with more proven firepower \u2014 Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Jo\u00e3o Pedro have all found the net multiple times already this season. Expect a tight, competitive afternoon that still finds goals at both ends, with Chelsea’s superior quality in the final third the difference.<\/p>\n
