Chelsea vs Brentford - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Chelsea are unbeaten in four games and have risen to tenth in the Premier League table
- Blues are two points ahead of Brentford, who beat Burnley last time out
- The two London teams start Saturday's slate of top-flight fixtures
Chelsea will look to carry their newfound momentum into Saturday's early Premier League kick-off against Brentford at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues couldn't hold on for victory last time out as Arsenal came from two goals down to draw 2-2 but signs of progress were evident for Mauricio Pochettino, who has overseen a four-game unbeaten run in all competitions after a dreary start to the campaign.
Thomas Frank's Bees managed their first victory since August when they comfortably overcame Burnley 3-0 and will look to their good head-to-head record against Chelsea for inspiration when they kick-start Saturday's action.

Chelsea vs Brentford score prediction
Chelsea are still dealing with squad injuries but their starting XI is as settled as it has been over the past year or so, with energetic midfielders and forwards implementing Pochettino's tactics to improving effect.
The disappointment from drawing with Arsenal was palpable but the Blues should not be deterred by that result and must target all three points with a tough run of fixtures approaching throughout November and December.
Brentford eased tension at the Gtech Community Stadium with victory last time out but their squad absences are more significant relatively speaking and they may come up short in a tight encounter.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Brentford
