Preview

Match preview

Brentford welcome Chelsea to the Gtech Community Stadium in round five of the Premier League season, with just one point separating the two sides in the upper half of the table. Brentford enter the contest unbeaten through four league fixtures, recording one win and three draws while scoring seven goals and conceding four.

Chelsea sit one place ahead in sixth position on seven points, showcasing a prolific but open approach across their opening four games. The visitors have found the back of the net ten times but have also conceded nine, failing to record a single clean sheet so far this campaign.

Recent meetings between the London rivals in this venue have been remarkably competitive, with four of the last five encounters at Brentford finishing level. Given both teams have scored in every league fixture this season, another lively attacking contest is anticipated.
