Chelsea will be looking to continue their impressive run since Graham Potter took over with a derby win at Brentford.
The Blues have won their last five games in all competitions, and are unbeaten in the league since September. They will be looking to extend their winning run and close the gap with 2nd placed Manchester City and table-toppers Arsenal.
Brentford will however pose a challenge to Chelsea, having only lost once at home that too to league leaders Arsenal. They also have in-form striker Ivan Toney in their squad who could prove difficult to handle for the Blues' defence.
