Chelsea will take on Brentford in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Chelsea are unusually struggling in tenth place following a poor start under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. Brentford are 14th and are in desperate need of points.
After putting together three wins in a row, Chelsea were held by Arsenal in their most recent outing. They were 2-0 up in that game but two goals in the last 15 minutes set up an exciting Arsenal comeback.
Brentford ended a winless run of six matches with a 3-0 win over Burnley. It will still be an uphill task for them to challenge the Blues at the Bridge but they will be hopeful of causing an upset.
