Brentford in Chelsea: Preview

Date: Saturday thirteenth
September 2025

Venue: Gtech Neighborhood Stadium

Kick-off: 20:00 BST

Tonight’s sport is Chelsea’s fourth London derby in 4 Premier League matches this season as we journey to the Gtech to face Brentford.

Chelsea had a 2-0 win towards Fulham final day trip however let’s
be sincere, we had our fair proportion of luck for that. It was luck (or a poor
choice) we would have liked to maintain a clear sheet too however it plastered over a little bit of a
crack in our defensive play, so the truth that Brentford have had fewer photographs
than anybody else thus far this season is a welcome statistic.

The
Bees are an organised aspect, even with out Thomas Frank, they’ll frustrate us and
attempt to catch us on the counter, so one other powerful sport may be anticipated and VAR
received’t rescue us each week.

MANAGER’S VIEWS

Going into
immediately’s sport, Brentford supervisor Keith Andrews, says “Our method from
set-pieces is a continuing for us, whether or not that’s defending or attacking them. That’s
one thing we’ve been engaged on over the worldwide break with the
centre-backs which have been right here, Ethan Pinnock and Sepp van den Berg. Chelsea
will carry a risk, we’re nicely conscious of that, and we’ll need to be
well-prepared to cope with it. I’m actually trying ahead to it. It’s an excellent
problem for us and one we must always embrace. There’ll be a story across the
sport that we’re little Brentford they usually’re Chelsea, however I like that, it fits
the place we’re and the steps we have to take to the place we need to be.”

Enzo
Maresca, in the meantime, says “It’s at all times a troublesome sport [against Brentford]each
have been final yr. The Premier League is the perfect on the planet due to that.
It’s at all times tough and I anticipate the identical.”
