It is a fourth London derby on the trot for Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea. This time, the Blues will travel to South London to face the Bees. Chelsea occupies the second spot in the Premier League table and will be eyeing another win to take the fight to table toppers Liverpool.
Save their opening day 0-0 draw to Crystal Palace, Chelsea has etched out results with a 5-1 win over West Ham and a 2-0 win over Fulham. On the other hand, Brentford will be aiming to make a strong comeback after their loss against Sunderland. All eyes will be on new manager Keith Andrews to see how to can take their battle to the Blues.
The Bees saw their team being battered and depleted, with players leaving the club in the summer transfer window, left, right and centre. With 2 losses in 3 games thus far, the onus will be on the relatively new squad to take the fight to the opponent. The only silver lining is the Bee’s good home record. Striker Igor Thiago has already found 3 goals; meanwhile, Vitaly Janely has resumed training.

Chelsea remain unbeaten in the league with 2 wins and a draw to their name. Their defensive record is also something to be proud of, with 9 clean sheets in the last 15 games. Injuries, however, have plagued the side. The biggest miss will be Cole Palmer, whose injury remains doubtful. On the other hand, Liam Delap is ruled out with a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, the new signing from Manchester United, Alejandro Garnacho, is expected to make his debut with the blue kit.
Heading into the game, Chelsea are the clear favourites. However, as per the latest trends, it can quite possibly be a low-scoring game. With a steady and packed defence, Chelsea is expected to keep another clean sheet. As for the odds, it goes +280 in favour of a slender 1-0 win for Chelsea.
Joao Pedro bags the tag for the player who is expected to score. Odds of +160 prove that Chelsea has already identified the Brazilian forward as a heavily reliant attacking option. He has scored 2 goals already and is ready to score more against the Bees. His winner against Fulham and his knack of roaming outside and inside the box prove that he is expected to find the back of the net again soon.
It remains to be seen if Cole Palmer is fit to play the game after his injury. But the attacking midfielder has returned to training, and his availability will put a smile on all Chelsea fans. His ability to score or assist is something that carried Chelsea last season, and Cole Palmer is expected to carry on his red-hot form this season, too. Odds of -115 strongly showcase Palmer attacking outputs.
