Rosenior Makes Premier League Bow as Chelsea Host In-Form Brentford on Saturday

An in-form Brentford tests Rosenior’s Chelsea in his league debut.

Overview

Kick-off is set for 3:00pm GMT on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea enter with a poor league run described as one win in nine, while Brentford arrive unbeaten in five to six recent league matches and sitting around the top five.
Chelsea face late calls on Cole Palmer, Reece James and Malo Gusto, with Moises Caicedo available after suspension, and Brentford monitor Jordan Henderson and Dango Ouattara after the latter was given extra days off post-AFCON.
UK broadcast information is disputed, with one outlet citing the 3pm blackout and others listing Sky Sports for live coverage.
Previews suggest a tight, high-scoring derby, with several predictions edging a narrow Chelsea win.
