Comments, predictions Brentford vs Chelsea: Garnacho opens the scoring

Latest Brentford vs Chelsea team information

Brentford lost Wissa, but managed to add Reiss Nelson on transfer deadline day. Fans will be hoping the former Arsenal man is back to full fitness after a month out. Igor Thiago has been a bright spot in attack, scoring three goals this season after suffering an injury last term.

Vitaly Janelt has returned to training after missing Bosnia duty with a foot injury, while Gustavo Nunes and Yunus Konak still need more recovery time.

Chelsea could welcome back Cole Palmer, although he remains a doubt after an injury kept him out of two Premier League games and the England squad. Romeo Lavia and Benoît Badiashile are also inching closer to a return after the international break.

Liam Delap is a definite absentee after suffering a serious hamstring injury against Fulham, but Chelsea fans could see a debut for new signing Alejandro Garnacho, who joined from Manchester United in the summer.

Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Yarmolyuk, Henderson, Damsgaard; Outtara, Igor Thiago, Schade

Latest Brentford vs Chelsea football review

Chelsea will play their fourth London derby in four games – a rarity – when they travel to Brentford, following a controversial win over Fulham.

At Stamford Bridge, the Blues won 2-0, but both key moments were controversial: Fulham had their opening goal denied, and Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the second half. Still, the three points were the most important, as they extended their unbeaten run at home in the Premier League in 2025 to 12 games (9 wins, 3 draws).

It’s also one of Chelsea’s best starts in years: for the second time in seven seasons they have won at least two of their opening three games. The defence has often been a weak point, but nine clean sheets in the last 15 games – albeit a bit of luck – has given manager Enzo Maresca some peace of mind.

Chelsea will need to maintain that solidity in a busy week, with three consecutive away trips, including Bayern Munich and Manchester United. The short history between the two sides also favours the visitors: just one of the eight meetings has seen the home side win.

As for Brentford, all three of their wins over Chelsea have come away from home, but at Gtech they are also unbeaten in three of their four home games against the Blues.

Manager Keith Andrews will certainly be pleased with a draw, especially after a turbulent summer for the team. After three games, “The Bees” have lost two games, including a bitter 1-2 defeat to Sunderland in the 96th minute of injury time, leaving them with no chance to make amends for the past two weeks.

Brentford lost just two of their final 10 games last season under Thomas Frank, but the loss of their manager, captain, goalkeeper and two key strikers, including Yoane Wissa (who joined Newcastle), has led many to predict they will struggle even more this season.

Home ground is still a strength, though: a win over Aston Villa in the second round helped Brentford extend their winning streak to three out of four at Gtech. But the upcoming schedule is extremely harsh, as they face Chelsea, Man United, Man City, Liverpool and Newcastle in turn.
