Chelsea vs Brentford – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Chelsea welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

Enzo Maresca’s team can move within two points of leaders Liverpool with a win over their West London neighbours. Maresca has continued to talk down Chelsea’s chances of competing for the title but the Blues have found real form in recent weeks. Chelsea are targeting a seventh straight win in all competitions.

Last weekend, Chelsea came from two goals down to beat Tottenham Hotspur, as Cole Palmer inspired a turnaround across the capital. Another derby success on Sunday will increase the argument that Chelsea are genuine contenders in 2024/25.

Brentford have endured a torrid record away from home this season. Despite boasting the Premier League’s best home record, Thomas Frank’s team have picked up just a point on their travels. However, the Bees have won on each of their last three visits to Stamford Bridge.
