Chelsea, Recent FormThe 2-1 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion will not have sat easily with the Chelsea squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 42% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Brighton & Hove Albion's tally of 24 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Frank Lampard will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 3 of their last 6 games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
It's been a disappointing spell of home league form lately, having managed to rack up just 1 victory and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches.
Brentford, Recent FormIt's fair to say Brentford will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Aston Villa, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Aston Villa had 13 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Having scored 6 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Ivan Toney will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 19 goals in Brentford's 32 league games this season.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Armando Broja (Knee), Kalidou Koulibaly (Muscle) and Noni Madueke (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Frank has a number of injury concerns in his Brentford squad to contend with: Kristoffer Ajer (Calf), Pontus Jansson (Hamstring) and Keane Lewis-Potter (Knee)
