Chelsea vs Brentford preview
Liverpool not playing while Arsenal and Manchester City dropped points.
When Chelsea went 2-0 down to Spurs last weekend, it looked like a massive opportunity was going to be passed up.
But this Chelsea side are different at the minute and coming back to win 4-3 might turn out to be a pivotal point this season.
They now go into the weekend just four points off Arne Slot's Liverpool, granted having played a game more.
And goals should be a certainty here. Chelsea are the highest scoring side in the division and Brentford are second highest!
As far as the Bees are concerned, only three teams have conceded more than them too. So entertainment follows them wherever they go.
It's a pity all their form is at home though. They've failed to win any of their last six away from the Gtech, losing five of those in the process.
But they're only four points off Man City in fourth place and sorting out their travel troubles could be the catalyst to kick on.

Chelsea vs Brentford prediction and betting tips
Has to be goals
It's been given the big build-up for goals so I need to stick with it now!
There's got to be plenty going in here. The stats for Brentford suggest it itself, without factoring in Chelsea being the highest league scorers.
I'll be taking on even more goals than this.
Marc your card
He took some amount of stick for his footwear last week. Goodness knows how bad it'd have been if his teammates didn't bail him out.
So Marc Cucurella might well feel he has a point to prove here, despite being fairly solid for the Blues this season.
No player in the Premier League has more yellow cards than him at this moment in time.
