Chelsea vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Odds: Preview

On the back of a very successful campaign, the onus is on Thomas Tuchel to deliver this term. The manager replaced Frank Lampard in the middle of the last season and delivered the Champions League for the West Londoners.

They brought in Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan and Saul from Atletico Madrid on loan as they seem ready to put up a fight for the Premier League title this season. So far they have looked pretty decent in all departments and are currently topping the Premier League table.

Brentford earned their rights for the top flight football as they outplayed Swansea city in the Championship playoffs final to end their 74-year wait.

They started their Premier League journey with a giant killing tag as they humbled Arsenal 2-0 to open their account. A number of excellent performances earned them plaudits and they will definitely fancy their chances against Chelsea on their home turf.

Chelsea is a point of adrift of Liverpool who is yet to lose in the top flight this season. Their loss to Manchester City is the only defeat in their tally so far and they have a pretty hectic fixtures line up with Leicester City and Manchester United ready to pile more pressure on them.

Lukaku scored on his Chelsea return but since then has clearly struggled due to a poor lack of service. Goals have dried him and Tuchel needs to make him score in a bid to keep their Premier League ambitions ticking.

The Belgian has been pretty sharp in the last few seasons and also scored in the 3-2 defeat at the hands of France in the UEFA Nations League semifinal. The player opened up in an interview recently.

I’m much more calm. I’ve matured with fatherhood and I’m more laidback. After winning in Italy and knowing what it takes to get there, that really helped me. In the last three years, I’ve been able to build something that I can take on for the rest of my career.

It can be complicated but when you really set your mind to do something and you really dedicate everything that you have to that goal, you can achieve it. I recognised my little qualities and talent but I also knew what I was not good at and I really spent a lot of time working on those attributes to be the complete package.

Now, it feels good. I’m very happy with the opportunity and we’ve started really well as a team. My team-mates have made life very easy for me and the coach is doing a great job. Our performances have been good but we’re always looking for the next challenge.“
