Chelsea can continue their slow but steady improvement under Mauricio Pochettino by trying to break their bad streak against Brentford this Saturday.
Brentford has been successful in their recent visits to Stamford Bridge, winning the last three times. Last season, they even managed a draw against Chelsea, making it four games without a loss for them in this matchup.
Despite a recent loss in the Carabao Cup final, Chelsea has been doing alright, making it to the FA Cup quarter-finals with just one defeat in their last five games. They need to keep this momentum going if they want to compete for European qualification.
On the other hand, Brentford, led by Thomas Frank, is struggling. They’re just five points above the relegation zone and have lost 10 of their last 12 Premier League games, including a recent heavy defeat to West Ham.
