The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Brentford lock horns with Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea side in an important clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Chelsea vs Brentford Preview
Brentford are currently in 14th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side eased past Burnley by a comfortable 3-0 scoreline last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride so far this season. The Blues were held to an impressive 2-2 draw by Arsenal in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
