Brentford will welcome Chelsea to Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday for a one-on-one Premier League clash, with kickoff slated for 15:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Brentford Looking to Do the Double on Chelsea this Season
Brentford have won once in their last five rounds of outings in the Premier League. They have lost four times in this run, collecting three points out of fifteen available.
They have lost their last two back-to-back matches against Liverpool (1-4) and Manchester City (1-0). They will look to avoid making it a third consecutive defeat as they bid to climb the table.
Brentford currently sits 15th on the table with 25 points, which are just five above the drop zone. Thomas Frank and his charges will look to use this match as motivation to drive them away from the drop zone and toward the midtable.
Chelsea Looking to Make It Three Unbeaten Matches in the Premier League
Chelsea are unbeaten in their last two outings. They have won twice, drawn once, and lost twice in their last five outings in the Premier League.
Pochettino’s men have lacked any form of consistency this season as they are languishing in 11th on the table with 35 points, 17 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. They are closer to the relegation zone than the top four.
Having lost to Liverpool in the Carabao Cu final in extra time last Sunday, Chelsea will be keen to turn their form around as they bid to push higher on the table and into European places.
