Brentford Form

Brentford are sliding towards the Premier League’s bottom three after 10 losses in their last 12, conceding 29.

The Bees are on a three-match losing streak and sit just five points above the relegation zone. Defeats came against Liverpool (4-1), Man City (1-0) and West Ham (4-2).

Brentford were 2-0 down after just six minutes at West Ham before Neal Maupay equalised on 12 minutes. Thomas Frank’s side couldn’t build momentum, conceded twice after half time and Yoane Wissa netted a consolation late on.

Brentford Injuries & Team News

Defenders Ethan Pinnock, Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey are out.

Midfielders Kevin Schade and Josh Dasilva and forward Bryan Mbeumo are also out.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea are unbeaten in five straight matches in all competitions, winning two.

A league win at Crystal Palace (3-1) and a draw at Man City (1-1) came before two cup clashes. Chelsea lost 1-0 in extra time against Liverpool in the EFL Cup and beat Leeds 3-2 in the FA Cup.

The Blues bounced back after conceding early on against Leeds as Nicolas Jackson and Mykhailo Mudryk struck before half time. Leeds pulled a goal back but Conor Gallagher netted a 90th-minute winner to seal Chelsea’s quarter-final place.

Chelsea Injuries & Team News

Defenders Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella and Benoît Badiashile are ruled out.

Midfield trio Roméo Lavia, Carney Chukwuemeka and Lesley Ugochukwu are also out.

Striker Christopher Nkunku is unavailable due to injury.

Verdict

Brentford v Chelsea

Brentford are one of the most out-of-form Premier League sides and Chelsea are becoming tough to beat. The Blues can edge their West London neighbours to a Premier League road win.
