Chelsea vs Brentford prediction, odds and preview

After fumbling a two-goal lead against Arsenal last weekend, Chelsea will look for all three points against Brentford on Saturday.

Goals from Cole Palmer and Mykhaylo Mudryk gave Chelsea the advantage against the Gunners at Stamford Bridge.

However, a Robert Sanchez howler and Leandro Trossard near post finish ensure Arsenal fought back to earn a point. The Blues were on course for a third successive win in the Premier League until the meltdown in the latter part of the encounter.

Chelsea have shown signs of improvement under Mauricio Pochettino in recent weeks, picking up more points (seven) and scoring more goals (eight) in their last three Premier League matches than they did in their previous nine.

Chelsea travel to Brentford on Saturday looking to improve both their home form and record against fellow London clubs; the Blues have won just two of their last 15 Premier League fixtures at Stamford Bridge, winning just one of their first five home games this season, and have only won two of their last 12 top-flight London derbies.

Brentford have also struggled at home this season, but they earned their first three points at the Gtech Community Stadium last Saturday with a 3-0 win over 10-man Burnley.

Chelsea failed to beat Brentford in both league games last season and will hope to better that record on Saturday.
