Chelsea have always had a difficult time against Brentford in recent encounters.

Brentford vs Chelsea match preview

Chelsea's morale was high after beating arch-rivals Tottenham in midweek. The win took the Blues back into the top four with 52 points, one point ahead of fifth-placed Man City. Enzo Maresca's side will need to win again to close the gap on Newcastle. Chelsea's fourth-placed position is in serious doubt, with the London side only two points ahead of Newcastle and having played one game more.

Chelsea are determined to win 3 more points but it will not be easy when their opponent in round 31 of the Premier League is Brentford. Although they are in the bottom half of the rankings, Thomas Frank's students can completely cause many difficulties for Chelsea. Brentford often get favorable results against Chelsea since returning to the Premier League in 2021.

In the 7 Premier League meetings since the 2020/2021 season, Brentford have won 3 and lost 2. This will give Brentford a lot of confidence to overcome Chelsea in the confrontation on Sunday. Poor away form this season can completely make coach Enzo Maresca especially worried ahead of the match against Brentford. The Blues have won only 6/15 matches on the road and lost 6.
