Better than Liverpool? Chelsea labelled 'best team in the Premier League' as Brentford manager Thomas Frank praises 'top job' by Enzo Maresca

Premier League

Brentford

Liverpool

Chelsea

Wolverhampton

<p>Enzo Maresca's side go into the west London fixture off the back of four straight wins, making them one of the best-performing teams in the top flight right now. Frank has gone out on a limb ahead of the clash, with the Bees boss claiming in a press conference that the Blues may be in better shape than Liverpool at present.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ahead of the Chelsea game, Frank said: “I expect an interesting game with two good teams. They are maybe the best team in the Premier League right now. They are maybe even more in-form than Liverpool, even though they are top of the league. They are playing incredible football and are well-coached. [Enzo] Maresca has done a top job so far with his coaching staff and they look extremely dangerous."</p>

WHAT FRANK SAID

<p>Brentford's manager has heaped praise on Maresca but he deserves a huge amount of respect for the work he's done in west London himself this campaign. Frank has made the Bees an extremely entertaining outfit, with only Chelsea scoring more goals than his team in the Premier League this season. It's no surprise that the Dane has been linked with some top positions recently,<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/brentford-thomas-frank-another-challenge-man-utd-links/blt42f2521844c17e34" target="_blank"> including the Manchester United job.</a></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Frank will no doubt have some tricks up his sleeve for Brentford's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-josh-acheampong-samuel-rak-sakyi-impress-enzo-maresca-debut-chelsea-beat-astana/blt02c956e57c5cd119" target="_blank">visit to Stamford Bridge</a> this Sunday. The clash pits the league's two top-scoring sides against each other, and offers the visitors an opportunity to continue pushing towards the European places.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR BRENTFORD?
