Brentford vs Chelsea

The Chelsea head coach was speaking to the media ahead of the Blues' Premier League clash against Brentford.

“I have to involve him in the conversations, he is 38 years old and is a man who knows himself better than I do. “It’s pleasing and credit to the players, credit to the group. It's about the team and the togetherness of the squad. They know clearly what they are doing in all the phases, set-plays are very dangerous, and Ivan Toney as a centre forward is as dangerous as anybody in the league in his way. He is an important member of the team and is patent and trying to help the team from the side at the moment. “He's a human being, a player, and they want to play and contribute. I think coaches are judged by how much they get out of the players, how much the organise a team, how the results are in comparison to the expectation of those results, and he does a fantastic job.” But the way the group has responded, the way we feel in the team is really positive. But it’s only six weeks – feels like six months sometimes – but we have a long way to go and keep moving.” I know him well, I like him as a person and we have similar thoughts about the game and life in general. He did fantastically at Brighton with Rob and he is a good guy, good around the group, and he works the keepers really well. He is ready to help the team but there is competition for places in that area.

Brentford vs Chelsea Premier League preview, including lineups, stats, form guide, injury news, team news and how to watch the match on BT Sport.

Toney is the talismanic figure at the front of the pitch for Brentford and appears to be getting better and better. And the visitors will need to be wary of avoiding a - Ivan Toney has scored six goals in his last five Premier League games, accounting for 75% of Brentford’s total in these matches (6/8). They last had a longer winning run while keeping a clean sheet each time in January/February 2007 (6). But it was often worryingly easy for the home side to cut through Chelsea’s defence. “It's a joy [to work with him]. [Premier League](https://www.bt.com/sport/football/premier-league)’s frontrunners. The Spaniard is a vital player for Brentford and Chelsea’s finishing will need to be precise. [Brighton](https://www.bt.com/sport/football/brighton-and-hove-albion) last time out, a game won thanks largely to the brilliance of Ivan Toney, who scored twice, and the excellent shot-stopping of David Raya. All is well, for now, but a trip to Brentford is always a tricky prospect and sustaining this form beyond the ‘new manager bounce’ will be the next test for Potter’s team. They sit fourth, with a game in hand on [Tottenham](https://www.bt.com/sport/football/tottenham-hotspur) and [Manchester City](https://www.bt.com/sport/football/manchester-city) above them.

Chelsea will look to continue the winning run under Graham Potter when they take on Brentford on Wednesday.

Brentford gave Chelsea a run for their money last season and will likely take the game to them again. The Hard Tackle predicts a cagey affair between Chelsea and Brentford, with Graham Potter’s men clinching a 2-1 win. - Brentford will be looking to win back-to-back league games against Chelsea for the first time since February 1939, following their 4-1 win at Stamford Bridge in April. So Chelsea will know that the key to stopping the Bees is to keep Toney quiet. And the Brentford manager should persist with the system against Chelsea, hoping to have a numerical advantage in the middle of the park. The Chelsea manager will be without three first-team players on Wednesday. Wesley Fofana (knee), N’Golo Kante (hamstring), and Reece James (knee) are the other absentees for Chelsea. The English striker will spearhead the attack against Chelsea, with Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa supporting him from the flanks. "We are very good at the Gtech Stadium, and we can be a threat to any team in the division. But the Brentford captain will be back in action by next week. The west Londoners are currently on a five-game winning run, with the latest success coming in the 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. On the other hand, Graham Potter continues to oversee a revolution at Chelsea, with the Blues undefeated under his tutelage.

Chelsea news: Roy Keane favours Graham Potter over established Premier League winners in surprise inclusion ahead of the trip to Brentford.

I like the way his teams play. "I know people say he's always working with the best players at the biggest clubs with the biggest budgets blah blah blah, he still has to work with them, he still has to manage them and define a style of play, still has to go year in, year out." I like the way he comes across. When he was in the Championship a few years ago, I came across him. It was the calm approach off the field with brilliant results on it that attracted Todd Boehly and his co-owners to the 47-year-old, and that's what has gained the turnaround in form so far. Potter has done all he can so far though, and has taken on a giant challenge all guns blazing.

Chelsea will be tangling with Ivan Toney and a tricky Bees side that beat Brighton and Hove Albion in the same building at the weekend.

The next time Wolves score multiple goals in a game will be the first time this season. But there are few players better equipped to tear open a game in a single moment, and Traore’s goal was just that (even if more traditional than his usual bullet runs).

Toney’s brace over the weekend means he’s scored nearly half (8) of their total goals (18), and six of the last eight. (NGA); Last year was Brentford’s first ever season in the Premier League, and they marked it with a stellar 13th place finish and two dramatic matches against Chelsea, plus a third in the League Cup for good measure.

I’m pretty sure he’ll give everything but he’s in a brace for probably four weeks so that’s thrown in a bit of doubt. He’s been training well, he’s ready to help the team. 'In terms of his involvement in the World Cup I don’t know, it depends on how he recovers. ‘He’s an important member of the team. ‘It’s brilliant for him. ‘He’s a really important person and player for us. ‘24, 48 hours, we need to make sure the recovery is right for him.

The Blues' first west London derby of the season is a midweek affair. Club historian Rick Glanvill and club statistician Paul Dutton preview the our visit ...

A win this time next week in Salzburg would start the engine. Last season the away side won all three meetings between Chelsea and Brentford across all competitions. Only Newcastle, Manchester City and Liverpool have produced more shots from such situations. The Bees’ three matches with lowest ball possession (27 per cent against Brighton, 33 Man United and Leeds) have delivered their only league victories. Thomas Frank, celebrating his fourth anniversary as the Bee-keeper, generally sets up in a 4-3-3 formation, or 3-5-2 when facing top-six sides, each designed to play to the strengths of his team. Earlier in the season there they beat Man United 4-0 and knuckled Leeds 5-2, though more recently Arsenal won 3-0 and Bournemouth drew 0-0. 1 In particular, there is no like-for-like replacement for James and his ability to lock down the whole right side, contributing to the Blues’ improved attacking performances and fewer efforts on goal conceded. Outside Mason Mount’s finishing and the saves of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Sunday’s victory against Aston Villa did not produce many talking points. Still, Chelsea have won nine of our past 10 away derby matches in the Premier League, managing seven clean sheets in that run. Chelsea have won five in a row in all competitions, are unbeaten in six and have conceded only twice under the new coach, winning all three in the top flight since his arrival. The Blues’ first west London derby of the season is a midweek affair.

Chelsea travel to Brentford this evening seeking revenge for one of their most stunning Premier League defeats of recent years.

The Gabon international is clearly enjoying the managerial change and life at Stamford Bridge so would make sense to keep an eye on him. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has picked up three goals in his last four appearances for Chelsea which has demonstrated just how well he has been under Potter. For Chelsea, it is six in 13 in all competitions including five from their nine league outings but in their current five-match winning run, the last four have finished win-to-nil. Brentford, meanwhile, returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion after a three-match winless run which included conceding eight goals in that time. The Bees are looking to win back-to-back league games against Chelsea for the first time since February 1939 after winning at Stamford Bridge 4-1 last season. The Blues have not lost under Potter yet and have only conceded two goals in the early stages of his tenure at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have a second Premier League away trip in the space of four days, making the short journey across west London to face Brentford.
