After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal, Chelsea will look to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they face Brentford in another London derby. The Blues have improved offensively and their performance in the north London derby certainly gives fans cause for optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. Full-back Reece James, fit again, is tipped to start, while Chilwell, Fofana and Chalobah remain in the recovery room.
Meanwhile, the Bees did well to crush Burnley 3-0 in front of their home crowd, but given their three-game winless streak away from home, I predict the hosts will take all three points from the local derby. Thomas Frank is unlikely to make any changes to the team that beat the Clarets at the weekend. Keane Lewis-Potter, Kevin Schade, Rico Henry, Mikkel Damsgaard, Shandon Baptiste and Joshua Da Silva remain in the recovery room.
Chelsea – Brentford Prediction Odds
Chelsea – cooked 1.65.
Tie – odds 4.00.
Brentford – fee 5.25.
Chelsea Information and Current Form
Chelsea enters this season after an atrocious one, the worst in its history in the 21st century. The Blues finished 12th, much closer to the relegation zone than the European places.
They made major changes over the summer, but still started the season poorly. They are now 10th, eight points away from the Champions League places. However, the last few games have been much better, and the improvement is evident.
The team will miss several players who missed previous games due to injury: Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku and Marcus Bettinelli.
On the other hand, the right back and team captain, Reece James, recovered from his injury. He played seven minutes in the previous game and will likely play limited minutes in this game as well.
After the 2-2 draw against Arsenal, coach Mauricio Pochettino was quite unhappy. He said they had lost two points because they had a two-goal advantage and complete control of the match after 77 minutes of play.
However, the coach also pointed out that they are a very young team, and that there is a lot to be proud of after the game against Arsenal, despite not having achieved victory.

Brentford Information and Current Form
Brentford were playing in League Two (the fourth tier of English football) just 15 seasons ago, and since arriving in the Premier League they have been solid, finishing 13th and 9th.
Last season, the Bees almost clinched Europe, finishing two points behind. This season, Brentford has had a mediocre start, with ten points from nine games, and is two points behind its next rival, Chelsea.
Starting right back Aaron Hickey, who missed the previous match against Burnley due to a one-match suspension, should return to the starting line-up.
Ivan Toney, the team’s best forward, is suspended for violating betting rules. Toney has not played this season due to the aforementioned suspension and should return to the field on January 17.
Most likely, some players who missed the previous games due to injury will still not play: Kevin Schade, Keane Lewis-Potter, Rico Henry, Josh Dasilva, Mikkel Damsgaard and Shandon Baptiste.
Possible alignments
Chelsea: Robert Sanchez; Bad Taste, Thiago Silva, Axel Shots, Levi Colwill; Conor Gallagher, Moses Fallen, Enzo Fernandez; Raheem Sterling, Cole Palmer, Mykhaylo Mudryk.
Brentford: Mark Flekken; Kristoffer Ajer, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock, Aaron Hickey; Mathias Jensen, Christian Norgaard, Vitaly Janelt; Bryan Mbeumo, Neal Maupay, John Wissa.

Chelsea vs Brentford Prediction
Chelsea have finally started to play better in recent games, winning three of the last four games. In the last one, they tied 2-2 against Arsenal, but they played an excellent game and were close to taking the three points.
Brentford were immersed in a terrible run before the international break, as they had one draw and four defeats in five games. They ended that bad run with a great victory, but at home, against one of the worst teams in the league at the moment: Burnley.
Betting Prediction
Chelsea bro
Away from home, they have suffered a lot lately, and have only picked up one point in three games. The Blues are much better, and I think they should take the three points from Stamford Bridge.
