Brentford vs Chelsea preview and prediction: Garnacho to open the scoring.

Latest team news for Brentford vs Chelsea

Brentford lost Wissa, but managed to sign Reiss Nelson on the final day of the transfer window. Fans are hoping the former Arsenal player will quickly regain his fitness after a month out of action. Igor Thiago is a bright spot in attack, having scored 3 goals this season after recovering from injury last season.

Vitaly Janelt has returned to training after missing Bosnia's national team duties due to a foot injury, while Gustavo Nunes and Yunus Konak still need more time to recover.

Chelsea could welcome back Cole Palmer, although his availability remains uncertain after an injury that kept him out of two Premier League matches and the England international break. Romeo Lavia and Benoît Badiashile are also close to returning from international duty.

Liam Delap is definitely out due to a serious hamstring injury against Fulham. However, Chelsea fans can expect to see the debut of new signing Alejandro Garnacho – who joined from Man United this summer.

Latest football match prediction: Brentford vs Chelsea

Chelsea will have their fourth London derby in just the first four rounds of the season – a rare occurrence – when they travel to Brentford, following a controversial victory over Fulham.

At Stamford Bridge, "The Blues" won 2-0, but both crucial situations were highly controversial: Fulham had their opening goal disallowed, and Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the second half. Nevertheless, the three points were the most important thing, extending their unbeaten home run in the Premier League in 2025 to 12 matches (9 wins, 3 draws).

This is 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 matches. Their defense, often considered a weakness, has kept nine clean sheets in their last 15 games – albeit with some luck – which has given manager Enzo Maresca some reassurance.

Chelsea will need to maintain this solidity during a demanding week, with three consecutive away games, including against Bayern Munich and Manchester United. The short head-to-head record between the two sides also favors the visitors: only one of eight encounters has seen the home team win.

For Brentford, all three of their wins against Chelsea have come away from home, but at Gtech, they are also unbeaten in three of their four home matches against "The Blues".

Manager Keith Andrews would certainly be pleased with a draw, especially after the team's turbulent summer. After three rounds, "The Bees" have lost two matches, including a bitter 1-2 defeat against Sunderland in the 96th minute of added time, leaving them with no chance to rectify the situation for the past two weeks.

Brentford lost only two of their last 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 more this season.

Nevertheless, home advantage remains a key factor: a win against Aston Villa in the second round helped Brentford extend their winning streak to 3 wins in their last 4 matches at Gtech. However, their upcoming fixtures are extremely tough, as they will face Chelsea, Man United, Man City, Liverpool, and Newcastle in succession.
