Prediction: 1-2
Chelsea
Brentford will be aiming to make amends for a 4-2 loss to West Ham United when they take on Chelsea in yet another London derby. The Bees are on a three-game losing run in the Premier League and, as a result, their elite division status is in danger. DR Congo international Yoane Wissa is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Ethan Pinnock, Kevin Schade, Joshua Da Silva, and Aaron Hickey are sidelined with injuries.
The Blues, on the other hand, did well to hold Man City to a 1-1 draw at Etihad Stadium in their last league match and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Brentford’s dressing room. All Carney Chukwuemeka, Thiago Silva, Romeo Lavia, Benoit Badiashile, Lesley Ugochukwu, and Marc Cucurella are out of contention through injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Thiago Silva):
Brazilian defender Thiago Silva is one of the highest rated defenders in world football. Having emerged from Fluminense youth ranks, the 31-year-old defender established himself as a world-class performer while plying his trade for AC Milan from 2009 to 2012.
Having largely contributed to Rossonerri’s title winning campaign in 2010-11, Thiago Silva moved to Paris Saint-Germain together with Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a reported fee worth €42 million, which made him then second-most expensive defender in football history after Rio Ferdinand.
Silva was an immediate success at the French club, helping Les Parisiens win four consecutive Ligue 1 titles in the process. Heavily linked with a move away from Parc des Princes, fan favourite Thiago Silva remains a key figure at Paris Saint-Germain and a leader of the new wave under head coach Unai Emery. Having already surpassed the 100-game mark for the French giants, Thiago Silva is slowly writing his name in the history books of Paris Saint-Germain.
Highlighted Team (Brentford):
Based in London, Brentford compete in the Championship and they were founded in 1898. Griffin Park has been the home ground of the club since 1904 and the capacity of the venue is 12,300.
The Bees have yet to play in the Premier League and it has to be noted that they made it to the FA Cup sixth round on four occasions (1937/1938, 1945/1946,1948/1949, 1988/1989). Brentford played in the League Cup round 4 in the 1982/1983 and 2010/2011 season and that is the club’s biggest success in the competition.
Brentford’s main rivals are Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and they take on each other in the West London Derby. The rivalry with the Cottagers is probably the biggest and you should bear in mind that the clashes between the two teams have their history of crowd violence. The colour of Brentford’s shirts is red and white and they wear black shorts.
