High-flying Chelsea will take on Brentford in the Premier League round 16 encounter at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. Can the Bees prove their strength again in West London?
Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea has been tasting some incredible and remarkable form this season, as they are currently strong title contenders this season. They are currently on a six-match winning streak and are unbeaten in the last nine matches across all competitions. Enzo Maresca’s team made it a four-match winning streak in the Premier League by securing a stunning on the road victory against their London rivals, Tottenham, in a seven-goal thriller. Goals from Jadon Sancho and Enzo Fernandez and two spot-kicks from Palmer all helped the Blues to make a remarkable comeback from two early first-half goals. Enzo Maresca’s men continued their perfect run in their European competitions, having beaten FC Astana 3-1 in their midweek game. The Blues are second in the league standings with 31 points, four points behind leader Liverpool.
The Blues are also on an incredible ten-match unbeaten run at home across all competitions this season, and this should boost their confidence against Brentford. Their last league match saw them claim a commanding 3-0 victory over Aston Villa. The Blues have a high goal-scoring power at home this season having scored in each of their games since their opening defeat.
Brentford Preview & Form
Brentford will arrive at Stamford Bridge with huge confidence in pulling off a victory this weekend, having secured victory in each of their last three visits to the Blues Stadium.

Thomas Frank’s side has been in hot goal-scoring form this season, as they are the second team behind Chelsea in the league to score the most goals, having scored 35 goals. Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have been their bright attackers, banging in goals this season. Currently, they sit ninth in the league standings with 23 points from the opening 15 games, only two points behind the dream of playing in European competitions next season.
The Bees have looked vulnerable and terrible in their travel games this season, having lost six of their seven away games during which they conceded two or more goals in each of those defeats. Their most recent away game saw them being beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa at the Villa Park.
