Preview for Brentford v Chelsea
Brentford and Chelsea will meet for a West London derby at the Gtech Community Stadium on Friday evening.
Chelsea have collected seven points from their opening four Premier League matches and currently sit sixth, while Brentford are seventh with six points.
Brentford are unbeaten in six matches across all competitions this season, recording three wins and three draws.
Brentford have struggled to beat Chelsea at home in the Premier League, failing to win any of their five previous meetings at the Gtech Community Stadium. However, the last four encounters have all ended in draws.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have endured an eventful start under Xabi Alonso. The Blues have won two, drawn one and lost one of their opening four league matches, scoring 10 goals but conceding nine.
That defensive record is the poorest among the current top nine, while only Manchester City have scored more goals than Chelsea in the Premier League this term.
The Blues defeated Brentford 2-0 in the corresponding fixture last season, although the reverse meeting ended in a 2-2 draw.
