Brentford welcomes Chelsea to Gtech Community Stadium on Friday afternoon for a west London Premier League matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET.
Keith Andrews‘ side has collected six points through its first four league matches, with one win and three draws. Brentford opened the season with an impressive 3-0 victory over Tottenham before drawing with Leeds United, Sunderland and Bournemouth in three consecutive matches.
Chelsea makes the short trip across London one point ahead of Brentford after taking seven points from its first four Premier League matches under Xabi Alonso. The Blues opened with consecutive victories over Fulham and Brighton before a 2-1 loss at Arsenal and last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Hull City.
The early results have showcased the firepower in Chelsea’s rebuilt attack. Cole Palmer, João Pedro and Morgan Rogers have combined for eight goals and six assists in league play, helping Chelsea score 10 times through four matches. The Blues have also conceded nine, with their first four Premier League fixtures producing 19 total goals.
Recent meetings at Gtech Community Stadium have been much tighter. Each of the last four Premier League matchups between these clubs at Brentford has finished level, including a 2-2 draw last season.

Best Bet for Brentford vs. Chelsea
Hard Rock Bet’s Stats Hub provides trends and matchup insights for every match across the Premier League. One of Chelsea’s new additions enters Friday in particularly strong form:
Morgan Rogers Anytime Goalscorer (+170): Rogers has found the net in four of his last five Premier League appearances, carrying his form from the end of his Aston Villa career directly into his first season with Chelsea.
The 24-year-old has quickly become a major piece of Alonso’s attack. Rogers has three goals through his first four EPL appearances for Chelsea, while starting each of the club’s four league matches.
He’ll now face a Brentford side that has allowed a goal in three consecutive league matches since shutting out Tottenham on opening weekend. With Chelsea already producing 10 goals through four league games, Rogers should have opportunities to extend his scoring run in the west London derby.
Morgan Rogers Anytime Goalscorer (+170) is our best bet for Friday’s matchup.
