"Chelsea make the short trip to the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday for their fourth London derby of the season, as they face Brentford in the Premier League. Enzo Maresca's side have yet to leave the capital this campaign, and their early form has been impressive, with the Blues sitting in second place heading into the weekend. Chelsea return from the international break after a controversial but valuable 2-0 victory over Fulham."
"Regardless of the debate, Maresca's team added another three points and maintained their unbeaten home league run in 2025. It has been one of Chelsea's strongest starts in recent seasons, winning at least two of their opening three fixtures for only the second time in seven years. Defensive stability has also been evident, with nine clean sheets in their last 15 games."
"Brentford, however, are eager to bounce back after a stoppage-time defeat to Sunderland before the break. Keith Andrews' side have endured a tricky start to the season, with two losses in their opening three matches. After losing key figures over the summer, including Yoane Wissa to Newcastle on deadline day, many anticipated a more difficult campaign. That said, the Bees have already shown they can be dangerous at home, beating Aston Villa earlier in the season."
