Both sides had contrasting fortunes before the break. Chelsea, under Enzo Maresca, won back-to-back derbies to build momentum, while Brentford slipped to two defeats in their opening three matches despite a strong home record in 2024.
This will be Chelsea’s fourth straight London derby to begin the campaign, and after beating both Fulham and West Ham in style, they’ll look to extend that run against a Brentford side that have historically struggled to beat the Blues on home turf.

Chelsea to win
Chelsea have started the season well, winning two of their first three matches - already matching their best start in the last seven seasons.
The Blues have kept nine clean sheets in their last 15 league games under Enzo Maresca and are unbeaten in four visits to Brentford (W1 D3).
With Joao Pedro and Estevao adding freshness to their attack and Enzo Fernandez pulling the strings, 18/25 with Bet365 for another Chelsea victory feels justified against a Bees side that have already lost twice this season.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Chelsea beat Brentford regardless of the score
Enzo Fernandez to score or assist
Enzo Fernandez has quietly become Chelsea’s most influential midfielder in the final third.
He’s been directly involved in three goals in his first three games this season and has 14 goal contributions across his last 18 appearances in all competitions.
With Bet365 offering 81/50 on him to score or assist, the odds look generous for a player who has created 2+ chances in seven of his last 11 league outings and remains on set-piece duty.
Tip: Enzo Fernandez to score or assist @ 81/50
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Enzo Fernandez scores or assists against Brentford
Joao Pedro to have 3+ shots
Since arriving at Chelsea, Joao Pedro has quickly shown his attacking intent.
He’s attempted 3+ shots in two of his first three games for the club, continuing a trend from last season where he hit that mark in five of his last nine Premier League appearances.
Up against a Brentford defence that conceded five goals in their first three matches, 4/5 with Bet365 on Pedro to test the keeper at least three times looks like one of the smarter player prop bets of the weekend.
Tip: Joao Pedro to have 3+ shots @4/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Joao Pedro has at least three shots against Brentford
