Chelsea are up against the Premier League’s high-flying new boys Brentford this weekend with Thomas Tuchel’s men hoping to retain their momentum which sees them sit at the summit of the league table.
The Blues have been upbeat early on this new season and have a one-point advantage over the second-placed Liverpool in the build-up to the weekend fixture list after the recent international break.
Thomas Tuchel will be counting on his players to come out on top once again and with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool set to face another of the league’s new boys Watford earlier in the day, claiming the three points will be of much importance to Chelsea.
Brentford, despite their inspiring form in their promotional campaign, could be on course to struggle against a Chelsea side that has looked lethal on all fronts and are backed to mount a serious challenge for the Premier League crown.

N’Golo Kante and Reece James, however, were back in training for the Blues ahead of Saturday’s matchup and will be in the mix for selection.
