West London Derby: Chelsea’s Unbeaten Streak Meets Brentford’s Struggle
Following a flurry of FA Cup action, the Premier League roars back into life with Chelsea looking to extend their five-game unbeaten run in a local derby against Brentford. Fresh from their midweek triumph over Leeds, Chelsea’s confidence is high, despite their recent Carabao Cup final setback. Brentford, on the other hand, face a tough challenge ahead, having suffered five losses in their last six outings, teetering dangerously close to the relegation zone.

The stage is set for Saturday’s clash as Chelsea aims to continue their impressive streak.
