The Blues are chasing the first place in the Premier League after collecting 31 points from their initial 15 encounters. Brentford trail them on 23 points after 15 rounds, sitting as number 9 in the table.

Brentford face a tough prospect, when travelling to in-form Chelsea on Sunday, with the home side racking up four wins in a row.

Brentford scored 24 goals, conceded 19 and held on for a clean sheet in one of their last ten matches.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 1-5 against Southampton. They went on to defeat Tottenham 3-4 and made it three on the spin against FC Astana in a 1-3 victory. Chelsea claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League. They also drew three but remained undefeated, as they scored 12 and conceded six goals.

Brentford Form

The results have been up and down for Brentford, who beat Leicester by 4-1. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 3-1 against Aston Villa, before claiming a victory in a 4-2 game against Newcastle. Brentford are winless in their last six away games in the Premier League, in which they drew one and lost five. They conceded 12 goals while scoring five themselves.

While we don't believe Brentford are strong enough to prevent Chelsea from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.

Chelsea won three matches, scored 11 goals and conceded eight in their last seven games against teams from the top half of the Premier League table. This earned them 11 points. Brentford took one wins from their last five games against teams from the top half of the Premier League table. They collected three points, scored six goals and conceded 11. Chelsea are looking at a record of nine wins, four draws and two defeats in the Premier League this season. Brentford enjoy a record of seven wins, two draws and six defeats in the Premier League.
