Brentford vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League latest score and confirmed lineups

Brentford host Chelsea in Premier League action on a rainy Friday night in the capital.

Xabi Alonso’s side started the new campaign brightly with their new-look attack purring.

But defensive concerns have emerged in their last two games, beaten by Arsenal and needing a last-gasp equaliser to draw with Hull City last time out.

Brentford were outstanding on the opening weekend at home to Tottenham but haven’t picked up a win since, held to draws against Leeds, Sunderland and Bournemouth.

Metro’s LIVE matchday blog will bring you all the build-up, confirmed team news and starting XIs, goal updates and minute-by-minute coverage.
