When to bet

Chelsea vs Brentford kicks off on Sunday at 7pm

Chelsea vs. Brentford predictions

Chelsea should have no problem extending their winning streak to seven matches when they host Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Blues’ 3-1 victory over Astana in the Europa Conference League was further proof that manager Enzo Maresca is laughing at his players after a difficult start.

Chelsea are nine matches unbeaten in all competitions and seven in the Premier League and have racked up the goals domestically.

Maresca’s men have scored at least three goals in four consecutive games and face a Brentford side who have kept just one clean sheet in the league all season.

The Bees should have some joy in front of goal, having scored in 13 of their 15 league matches, but they are yet to win away from home this season. They have taken just one point from a possible 21 away and could face that from the first whistle.

Chelsea: Enzo Maresca rested his first team against Astana, so their senior players will be fresh and ready to go. Winger Pedro Neto is suspended, while Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Omari Kellyman remain in the treatment room.
