"Rosenior's reign started with contrasting results in cup competition, as a convincing FA Cup win over Charlton Athletic was followed by a narrow 3-2 home defeat to Arsenal in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final. The Blues currently sit eighth in the table and have won just one of their last nine Premier League matches, a run that has seen them concede first in each of their last three outings."
"Saturday's opponents Brentford present a stern test. Chelsea have won only one of their last eight top-flight meetings with the Bees, although that victory did come in this exact fixture last season. The reverse meeting earlier in the campaign ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium. Brentford arrive in buoyant mood after defying pre-season expectations. The Bees sit fifth in the Premier League table, just two points behind the Champions League places, and have collected points at a rate bettered only by Arsenal over the last six matches."
