Our prediction: Brentford v Chelsea
This competition is not a particular priority for either side this season, but both will head into this one hoping for a victory as it all heats up.
The Bees’ ultimate aim is to survive their first season back in the Premier League while Chelsea are hoping to re-ignite their top flight title surge as well as defend their Champions League title.
Both sides are battling COVID cases, meaning similar players are likely to feature once again for each leading to some tired legs. For that reason, it’s likely to be an unpredictable battle, but Chelsea have the quality to get the job done.
Our prediction: Brentford 1-2 Chelsea (15/2 at bet365).
