Brentford and Chelsea will lock horns with each other in the Premier League next weekend. The London derby between the Bees and the Blues will be held at the Gtech Community Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Saturday.

Brentford

Brentford are a modest club in England, but the Bees have established themselves in the Premier League. Under then-manager Thomas Frank, who is now in charge of Tottenham Hotspur, the London club finished 10th in the Premier League table last season and will aim higher this time around.

The Bees have a new manager in charge, Keith Andrews, for whom, this is his full-time role at a club. The 44-year-old former Republic of Ireland international defensive midfielder was working as a set-piece coach at the Bees before he made the step-up.

Brentford kicked off their Premier League campaign with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest away from home at the City Ground. Then came a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa at the Gtech Community Stadium in the league, which followed a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth away from home in the second round of the Carabao Cup. Brentford suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sunderland away from home at the Stadium of Light in the Premier League just before the international break.

Team News:

Brentford are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Chelsea. Caoimhín Kelleher will be in goal for the Bees and will have Michael Kayode, Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg and Keane Lewis-Potter in front of him in defence. Jordan Henderson and Yehor Yarmoliuk will be the two holding midfielders. Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard and Kevin Schade will be the three attacking midfielders. Igor Thiago will lead the line for Brentford.

Chelsea

Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world and are among the teams aiming to win the Premier League title this season. With Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City also determined to win the title, it is not going to be easy for Chelsea, but the signs have been positive.

Under manager Enzo Maresca, Chelsea finished in the top five of the Premier League table last season and also won the Conference League. The Blues then won the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Chelsea are second in the Premier League table at the moment with seven points from three matches. The Blues are only two points behind leaders Liverpool. After a goalless draw with Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge in London, Chelsea hammered West Ham United 5-1 at London Stadium in the London derby. Then followed a 2-0 victory over Fulham in another London derby.

Chelsea are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Brentford. Robert Sanchez will be in goal for the Blues.
