Comments and predictions for Chelsea vs Brentford: Crush the away team

Latest Chelsea vs Brentford team information

After the trip to Almaty on Thursday, Chelsea manager Maresca is expected to return to a similar line-up to the one that played against Spurs last week, with the players who travelled to Kazakhstan not expected to feature. Pedro Neto, who is suspended for this weekend's game after picking up a yellow card against Spurs, will not be available, with Noni Madueke replacing him on the wing.

Another change could be at right-back, with Malo Gusto likely to start after coming on as a second-half substitute against Spurs, replacing Romeo Lavia. Mykhaylo Mudryk has recovered and will be available, while Reece James and Wesley Fofana continue to be absent with hamstring injuries.

For Brentford, Frank may not use the same attacking lineup as in the previous game, with Bryan Mbeumo and Keane Lewis-Potter deployed at full-back, and Yoane Wissa, Igor Thiago and Fabio Carvalho up front. The latter two could be replaced by defensive options like Mads Roerslev, while Mikkel Damsgaard returns after being rested against Newcastle.

Vitaly Janelt, after a minor problem in the previous game, is expected to be available, while Mathias Jensen continues to be absent with a hamstring injury.

Latest Chelsea vs Brentford football commentary

Chelsea vs Brentford could be a low-scoring affair, with both teams scoring plenty this season. Chelsea, despite being second in the table, have scored just 12 goals in 35 home games this season, and their home form has been rather average, with just three wins from seven. However, they did come off an impressive 3-0 win over Aston Villa and are on a run of four consecutive Premier League wins, scoring at least three goals in three of those games.

Brentford, meanwhile, are second in goals scored but have a poor away form, with just five goals in seven games, the fewest away from home. Despite a dramatic 4-3 win over Tottenham last week, they also showed some defensive weaknesses. Chelsea may look to maintain their attacking prowess and secure a fourth successive win, something they haven't done since 1954-55.

Despite Brentford enjoying their best run of form in Premier League history, with 23 points from 15 games, they have only won one away game this season, a win against Everton. Chelsea will be keen to improve their record against Brentford, having failed to beat them at Stamford Bridge in their last five meetings, losing their last three.
