The 2024/2025 Premier League season week 31 will see two teams from West London go head-to-head: Brentford vs Chelsea. The match will take place at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday, 6 May 2025, at 6:30 p.m. IST.
The Blues want to stay in the top four. To do this, they need to win the match. If they win, they will be in with a chance of playing in the Champions League next season.
Chelsea are currently in fourth place in the league table with 52 points. But they could still be knocked off their perch, as they’re only one point ahead of Manchester City and two ahead of Newcastle United, who are hot on their heels.
Brentford is in 11th place with 41 points. Thomas Frank’s team is safe from being demoted, but they still want to end the season as high as possible.
Brentford’s five-game away winning streak came to an end after they lost to Newcastle at St James’ Park on Wednesday (2/4/2025), which was their first away defeat in the Premier League this year.
Now the Bees are back at home, but they haven’t improved their form at the Gtech Community Stadium. They haven’t won any of their last seven home league games since beating Newcastle 4-2 in December.
Also, they are the only Premier League team this season that hasn’t kept a clean sheet at home. The last time they did that was in a goalless draw against Fulham in May 2024.
Brentford will be hoping to improve their defence and secure a home win over Chelsea, which would be their first in a competitive fixture in 87 years.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are feeling confident after beating Tottenham 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Thursday (3/4/2025).
Enzo Fernandez scored the winning goal, his first home goal since December, while Moises Caicedo and Pape Matar Sarr also had goals ruled out by VAR.
Victory over Spurs puts the Blues in fourth place in the table. They are just two points above Newcastle in sixth and one point behind Manchester City in fifth, so it is still very close to decide who will qualify for the Champions League.
While Chelsea have won five games in a row, they have not been playing well away from home. The Blues have won five games in a row, but they have only scored two goals in those games.
Team News
Brentford are going to be without Fabio Carvalho for the rest of the season. The midfielder had an operation on his shoulder. Josh Dasilva and Igor Thiago are also out with knee injuries.
Meanwhile, Aaron Hickey and Gustavo Nunes are not yet fully recovered, even though they played 45 minutes for the B team against Fleetwood Town at the end of March.
Coach Thomas Frank said Rico Henry might be able to play for the team again after getting better from his hamstring injury. Mathias Jensen is expected to be available again and could play from the bench after missing the last two games through illness.
In the Chelsea camp, Enzo Maresca confirmed that Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia have muscle injuries. Lavia is expected to recover more quickly than Fofana.
Omari Kellyman will not play again this season because of a hamstring injury, and Mykhaylo Mudryk is suspended after testing positive for a banned substance in December.
Reece James is likely to return to the starting line-up after coming on briefly against Tottenham, and Noni Madueke is also in contention to start after recovering from injury.
Brentford vs Chelsea Predicted Lineups
Brentford (4-2-3-1): Flekken; Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Janelt; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.
Prediction:
The Blues will be looking to end a run of seven away games without a win in the Premier League. But, because Chelsea drew both times they played against Brentford in the last two games, another draw might be possible this weekend.
