Match preview
Brentford welcome Chelsea to the Gtech Community Stadium in the English Premier League on Wednesday night.
Brentford is currently sitting in 9th place in the Premier League table and has been unstable so far this season. The hosts picked up a crucial 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend and will go into this game with confidence.
On the other hand, Chelsea are currently 4th in the table and have recovered from a slow start to this Premier League season. The Blues beat Aston Villa 2-0 in their last game and will be looking for a similar result this week.
Chelsea have shown dramatic improvement under Graham Potter and are looking to regain their place in the top four of the Premier League. The likes of Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling have stepped up under the new regime and will be intent on making their mark this week.
Brentford has relied heavily on Ivan Toney for the final third game of the season and has a number of issues to deal with ahead of this one. Chelsea are the best team on paper and can win this game.
