Chelsea travel to Brentford seeking first win at the Gtech Community Stadium

After a busy week of cup fixtures, the Premier League returns with a west London derby as Chelsea travel to Brentford. The Blues have not secured a win in their previous two league matches, suffering a clear defeat to Arsenal and a disappointing draw with Hull, where defensive lapses led to both goals conceded before Joao Pedro scored late. Brentford, meanwhile, remain unbeaten in three of their four league games, having opened the season with a victory over Tottenham and drawing the other three.

The Gtech Community Stadium has proven a tough venue for Chelsea, who have not won there since 2021, and manager Alonso is eager to overturn that record. Chelsea may also be without Joao Pedro, who pulled out of international duty with a suspected injury. The contest kicks off at 8 pm BST and will be shown live on one outlet Premier League and one outlet Main Event, with streaming available via Sky Go.
