The Premier League is back this weekend and Saturday’s game at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Brentford should give Blues fans some respite from all the talk about the change in ownership.
There may be off-field chaos at Chelsea but on the pitch, Thomas Tuchel’s side were excellent in the weeks approaching the international break and a run of five consecutive Premier League wins has ensured that the Blues have kept their distance from the sides scrapping below them for fourth.
Tuchel will have one eye on the blockbuster Champions League tie with Real Madrid on Wednesday evening but he’ll know not to underestimate a Brentford side that have already claimed some scalps in their first season in the top flight.
Wins against Norwich City and Burnley in March ensured the Bees have stayed out of the relegation battle – meaning that the pressure is off for Thomas Frank and his side ahead of Saturday’s game.

Our prediction: Chelsea v Brentford
With four games in 15 days, including two Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid, we could see Tuchel looking to be clever with his selection on Saturday – resting the likes of N’Golo Kanté and Kai Havertz.
Brentford were undone by two moments of quality against Leicester City ahead of the international break and it may be that the Blues just have too much class for them at Stamford Bridge.
Romelu Lukaku was back in the goals against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup and he’ll be raring to go after being rested by Belgium during the international break.
Our prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Brentford (9/1 at Bet365)
