"Liam Rosenior is under the microscope again as Chelsea begin a new chapter against high-flying Brentford to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League. 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."
Liam Rosenior leads Chelsea into a Premier League match against Brentford at Stamford Bridge after mixed cup results: an FA Cup win over Charlton and a 3-2 EFL Cup semi-final first-leg loss to Arsenal. Chelsea sit eighth and have won one of their last nine league matches, conceding first in each of their last three outings. Brentford occupy fifth, two points shy of Champions League positions, and have one of the best points totals over the last six matches. Joao Pedro starts up front while Reece James returns to right-back and Alejandro Garnacho is selected. Kickoff is 3pm UK.
