Prediction

  • Brentford fell to their fifth defeat in their last six last time out and the Bees are looking nervously over their shoulder. Thomas Frank's side have lost four of their last five at home, which doesn't bode well ahead of the welcome of Chelsea.
  • The Blues make the short trip to the Gtech Community Stadium having booked their spot in the next round of the FA Cup in a late 3-2 win over Leeds on Wednesday night. Chelsea are unbeaten in their three visits to Brentford since their promotion to the Premier League, winning twice.
  • After such a disappointing display at the London Stadium, Frank will demand an immediate response though Brentford may have to settle for a share of the spoils.
