Chelsea head to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford in their second consecutive London derby, following a crucial midweek win over Tottenham. The Blues climbed back into the Premier League's top four with that 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.
With the race for Champions League qualification tighter than ever, Chelsea will need to maintain consistency in the final stretch of the season.
Just one point separates Chelsea (4th) and Manchester City (5th), while only eight points divide fourth from tenth. The margin for error is thin, meaning every game counts in the fight for a top-four—or even top-five—finish minimum.
The recent return of Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer, and Noni Madueke has given Chelsea a timely boost. Their presence in the attacking third makes a noticeable difference in Spurs game, with Jackson in particular playing a key role in Enzo Maresca’s tactical setup.

Form Guide
Brentford fell to a defeat in their last outing away at Newcastle United. However, the Bees haven’t lost back-to-back matches since Gameweek 17. In their last five games, they’ve recorded two wins, two losses, and one draw—scoring in all but one of those fixtures.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are starting to build some real momentum. The Blues have won three of their last four Premier League matches, keeping clean sheets in each of those victories. The return of Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke is set to further bolster their attacking threat as they look to maintain their top-four push.

Chelsea and Brentford have met seven times in the Premier League:
• Chelsea Wins: 2
• Brentford Wins: 3
• Draws: 2
Brentford have the upper hand in the West London derby. In these encounters, Chelsea have scored six goals, while Brentford have netted 11
Prediction
The return of Nicolas Jackson should give Chelsea the edge in what promises to be an entertaining encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium. Jackson’s movement and ability to run in behind defenders adds a different dimension to Chelsea’s attack, often stretching opposing backlines and creating space for others. Palmer will surely benefit form Jackson return from injury.
Brentford, who started the season strongly at home, have seen their form at the Gtech dip in recent weeks. Surprisingly, they haven’t won any of their last five home games and have found more success on the road lately.
With momentum on their side and key players returning, Chelsea look well-positioned to take all three points in this London derby.
SCORE PREDICTION: Brentford 1-2 Chelsea
