Brentford, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Brentford players having failed to take any points away from their recent 4-2 away defeat at the hands of West Ham United. They came away from that fixture with 56% of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, West Ham United managed 15 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 8 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 15 goals in the same period. They've conceded a goal in each of their last 8 home games; however, over The course of the season they have scored in 12 of their 13 games played at The Gtech Community Stadium.
Recent form is something they will be looking to turn around, having recorded 5 defeats from their last 6 matches.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in The Gtech Community Stadium, Ivan Toney will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Chelsea, Recent FormChelsea will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Manchester City, not least because of the valuable point gained. They achieved 29% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Manchester City's tally of 32 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Mauricio Pochettino will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 11 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Chelsea, Cole Palmer will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 0-2 win for Brentford.
In their last 3 league meetings with Brentford, The Blues have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal. Chelsea have struggled to break down The Bees defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
