Chelsea face a game against a tough Brentford side on Sunday night as they look to get closer to Liverpool in the Premier League.
The Blues come off the back of a 3-1 win against Kazakhstan side Astana on Thursday night which is why their game against the Bees has been moved to Sunday night.
In their last Premier League game, Chelsea won 4-3 against Tottenham Hotspur after going 2-0 after just 11 minutes in North London.
They now sit second in the league table behind Liverpool after Arsenal dropped points last weekend, however, Enzo Maresca remains adamant that his side aren’t in the title race this season. Click here to see our predicted XI for the Blues.
