Chelsea return to Premier League action on Sunday, as they compete in a London derby at Stamford Bridge against Brentford.
It has been an excellent first half to the season for Enzo Maresca, and despite the coach’s best efforts, it is hard to argue against the fact that the Blues are in the title race.
Chelsea have won each of their last four matches, which includes a fine 4-3 success over Tottenham last Sunday.
Brentford’s consistent campaign sees them sit in the top ten at this stage. They bounced back from a sixth defeat of the season with a fine win at home against Newcastle last weekend.

Chelsea vs. Brentford Prediction
The fact Chelsea are in Europa League action just days before this showdown should be taken into account.
Chelsea’s consistent form has caught the eye in recent weeks, but they still look vulnerable defensively.
Brentford’s attacking talent has thrived this season, scoring 31 goals across all matches. The price for the away win catches the eye for this unusual kick off time in the Premier League.
