Two struggling west London sides will butt heads at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday when Chelsea host Brentford.
Chelsea have not won in their last seven games but will likely need three points here to have any chance of finishing in the top half of the Premier League table this season, with Brentford currently sitting tenth, five points ahead of the Blues having played one game more.
Brentford’s winless run is marginally shorter but the Bees are still searching for their first victory in over a month, while they’ve picked up just five wins in 2023 – one more than their wounded hosts.
Frank Lampard confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Reece James and Mason Mount are unlikely to be seen again this season.
There’s very little hope from either side heading into this one. Chelsea are objectively bad and waiting for someone to put them out of their Pochettino-less misery, but Brentford aren’t exactly in the best shape either.
