Brentford start their west London derby with Chelsea in the unusual position of being above them in the Premier League.

Keith Andrews’ side sit 5th in the table, 2 points and 3 places above their rivals.

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior is aiming to become just the third permanent boss since 2013 to win his first top-flight outing.

Since last season Chelsea have lost just one capital clash in the Premier League, the west London derby against Fulham in 2024.
