Overview
- Chelsea vs Brentford kicks off at 3:00 p.m. UK (10:00 a.m. ET) today at Stamford Bridge, with no live UK TV coverage due to the 3 p.m. blackout and streaming available on Peacock in the United States.
- Moises Caicedo is available after suspension, while Cole Palmer and Reece James face late fitness calls; long-term absentees for Chelsea include Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia.
- Brentford travel in form with a recent unbeaten run and Igor Thiago among the league’s top scorers; Jordan Henderson and Dango Ouattara are being assessed, with Josh Dasilva, Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo still out.
- Chelsea enter the match with just one win in their last nine Premier League games and are winless in the league since December 13, sitting eighth in the table.
- Brentford begin the day in fifth and have exceeded expectations this season, while recent head-to-heads skew against Chelsea, who have only one win in their last eight league meetings with the Bees.
