Brentford and Chelsea renew their Southwest London rivalry. The two teams have drawn their last four meetings at the Gtech.
Upcoming milestone
If midfielder Yehor Yarmoliuk plays in the game, it will be his 100th Premier League game. Maybe he'll celebrate the occasion with only his second goal.
Possible reunion
Jordan Henderson, who made 34 appearances for the Bees in all competitions last season (and represented England as a Bee at the World Cup), left the club in the summer for Chelsea. He is yet to play for the Blues, but could make his first appearance of the season against his former club.
Teams compared
After four games each, Chelsea are sitting one point and one place ahead of Brentford in the Premier League standings. Chelsea have 7 points in 6th place and the Bees have 6 points in 7th place.
