Enzo Maresca and his Chelsea side will be in action at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, December 15th, when they face Brentford.
The Blues are back in the Premier League with a home game against the Bees after picking up all three points in their European tie against Astana in midweek.
Chelsea are currently on a run of five wins from five games across all competitions, scoring 17 goals and conceding just 5.
Meanwhile, Brentford have recorded 3 victories in their last five games, suffered one defeat and one draw; they have scored 12 goals and shipped in 8 goals.
The Blues are second on the table, just four points behind leaders Liverpool, while Brentford are ninth on the log, 12 points off the top.
Both Chelsea and Brentford are very good offensively, and it will be interesting to see who will come out on top when they clash at the Bridge, but Enzo Maresca’s side are heavy favourites given the form they are in.
Chelsea’s kids travelled a grilling 16-hour journey to Kazakhstan and played very well against Astana, winning 3-1 under -11 degrees freezing cold. The Blues have been hailed for having a competitive first-team and second-string squad that can hold their own anywhere.
Chelsea vs Brentford: Head-to-Head
In the last 10 meetings between both sides, Chelsea have won four, Brentford with 3 victories, four ended as draws. However, in recent games, the Bees have the upper hand, having triumphed on three occasions compared to one for the Blues and two stalemates in between.
The last encounter between both was a 2-2 draw in March, with Brentford winning 2-0 the last time they met at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

Regardless of previous results, Enzo Maresca’s team have a different DNA and anything less than all three points will be a big disappointment for them.
