Brentford vs Chelsea: Premier League preview, team news, stats & head-to-head

Brentford are winless in their last four home league games against Chelsea (D2 L2) since a 1-0 win in October 1938.

Having won the reverse fixture 2-1 in December, Chelsea are looking to complete their first league double over Brentford since the 1946-47 campaign.

Brentford are the only side without a home Premier League clean sheet this season and have gone 16 home league games without a shutout. They’ve never gone 17 home league matches without keeping a clean sheet.

Chelsea have lost each of their last four away Premier League matches; they haven’t lost five in a row on the road since a run of five between October and December 2000.

In all competitions, Chelsea have won two of their last 10 away games (D2 L6) and those victories took place in Kazakhstan (3-1 vs. Astana) and Denmark (2-1 vs. FC København). They’ve won none of their last eight away games in England (D2 L6).

Brentford have gone seven Premier League games without a win at the Gtech Community Stadium (D2 L5), their worst run in the league since going nine without a win between September and December 2006.
