- Venue: Gtech Community Stadium (London)
Chelsea will make the short trip to Brentford on Sunday afternoon, eager to reinforce their standing in the Champions League race with another derby victory.
Despite putting up a strong fight and keeping the contest tight for long stretches, Brentford walked off St James' Park with heads down after a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Newcastle United, further complicating their push for a European spot as they now sit nine points behind the top six.
A solitary second-half goal from Enzo Fernandez made all the difference as he led Chelsea to a vital 1-0 triumph over a lackluster Tottenham in the London derby, and the victory pushed them back into the top four, maintaining a slim one-point advantage over Manchester City in fifth place.
Brentford vs Chelsea Betting Tips : UNDER 3.5
There's little reason to trust Chelsea when playing away, but at the same time, Brentford's home form leaves plenty to be desired, so we expect both sides to take a cautious approach, turning Sunday's clash at Gtech Community into a tight and goal-shy affair. Aside from their worrying home form, as they have entered the fourth month of 2025 without a single victory on their own turf (D2 L5), an even greater concern is their dullness in the final third, with three of their last four matches at Gtech Community ending without scoring. A dip in offensive productivity certainly does not bode well for Thomas Frank's side, as their West London rivals have vastly improved their organization and solidity at the back, having conceded just two goals in their last six competitive fixtures while keeping four clean sheets in the process. At the same time, Chelsea's declining offensive efficiency should not be overlooked, as they have been victorious by a 1-0 scoreline in three of their last four, indicating that the Blues have significantly altered their playing style, now placing more emphasis on the defensive section. Considering both sides' struggles with creativity and attacking edge, we foresee Chelsea sticking to their low-scoring pattern, with a game that will likely see a slow tempo and limited offensive opportunities.

Brentford’s injury list remains lengthy as they head into the London derby, with Josh Dasilva, Fabio Carvalho, Gustavo Nunes, and Igor Thiago all unavailable due to ongoing recovery.
It looks like Thomas Frank will stick with the same lineup he chose for Sunday’s clash against Newcastle, despite his team ending up on the wrong side of the result.

Chelsea team news
Chelsea will have to make do without a handful of key players, as Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Omari Kellyman, David Datro Fofana, and Marc Guiu are all ruled out for Sunday’s match due to injury.
Having his team secured a satisfying 1-0 win over Tottenham, Enzo Maresca is almost certain to field the same team once again.
