Brentford vs Chelsea: Head-to-Head Stats and Recent Form
The last five meetings have been dominated by Chelsea, who have won two of them while three have ended in draws. Brentford have not won any of those fixtures.
The corresponding fixture last season ended 2-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium, with Fabio Carvalho scoring a late equaliser for the hosts. Chelsea then won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the return fixture in January 2026.
Brentford are unbeaten in six games in all competitions, having beaten Tottenham 3-0 on the opening day before three successive league draws. The Bees have scored seven and conceded four in the league, and made progress in the Carabao Cup with a 2-1 win at Reading on Tuesday.
Chelsea, in contrast, have scored 18 goals in six games in all competitions but conceded 12. Their only away league win since March was at Fulham on the opening weekend, a record the Blues will be desperate to correct before the international break.
