It's been a mixed start for new Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior, who safely guided the Blues through to the fourth round of the FA Cup last weekend but saw them beaten by Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.

That Wembley hope is still alive but it's down to Premier League business on Saturday. Rosenior starts with a west London derby against Brentford at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea vs Brentford: Premier League preview

There's only a point between these teams in the Premier League table and they're in the unusual situation of Brentford being the team ahead.

The Bees are in fifth place and have won four matches in their unbeaten run of six in the league. They've beaten Wolverhampton Wanderers and AFC Bournemouth in the two away matches.

Brentford's position is to the huge credit of Keith Andrews, who took over as manager when Thomas Frank left for Tottenham Hotspur in the summer and immediately had to contend with some significant losses from his playing staff.

As a club, Brentford have recruited well enough to survive that and thrive in the league, but Andrews deserves recognition too. Igor Thiago banging in 16 league goals helps too, of course.

Rosenior is looking to leapfrog Chelsea's near neighbours in his first Premier League match in charge but there's no doubt Brentford are a tough nut to crack.

Three of the last four meetings between these teams were draws but the game at Stamford Bridge last season was a win for the Blues. Marc Cucurella and Nicolas Jackson scored their goals in a 2-1 win.

This season's fixture at the Gtech Community Stadium finished 2-2. Kevin Schade and Cole Palmer scored to make it 1-1 and Moises Caicedo looked to have won it with a late goal.

Fabio Carvalho equalised in the third minute of time added on. One suspects Andrews would take the same result again, albeit a slightly less stressful manner of achieving it might be preferred.
