The Premier League action continues on Saturday night as Brentford welcome Chelsea to the Brentford Community Stadium for the late kick-off. The two sides have endured very different starts to the season, with the data pointing towards Chelsea as strong favourites.

Brentford’s campaign has been sluggish, with just three points from their opening three matches. Last weekend’s defeat at Sunderland highlighted ongoing issues, despite flashes of quality from Jordan Henderson and Mikkel Damsgaard. The departure of Yoane Wissa to Newcastle has left Keith Andrews relying on younger talents alongside Thiago, but their attacking output remains underwhelming.

Statistically, the Bees sit 17th in the league for shots created inside the box and own the third-lowest non-penalty xG, underlining their lack of consistent threat. Defensively, the likes of Natha Bergllins and Sepp van den Berg have worked tirelessly, but errors have surfaced. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, signed from Liverpool, has also struggled for composure, with Brentford conceding six big chances in just three matches.
