David Seaman has given his score prediction ahead of tomorrow’s game between Chelsea and Brentford at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea host London neighbours Brentford on Saturday afternoon in the 12:30pm kick-off, with three points in the Premier League up for grabs.
The Blues go into the weekend on a four-game unbeaten run across all competitions, so the confidence is definitely flowing through the whole squad right now.
Meanwhile, Brentford thrashed Burnley 3-0 last weekend to end their recent run of poor results.
Chelsea vs Brentford prediction
David Seaman is tipping Chelsea’s good form to continue tomorrow afternoon at home to Brentford.
He told the Seaman Says podcast: “I’m going to go 2-0 Chelsea.”
In fairness, Brentford have back-to-back wins in their previous two visits to Stamford Bridge.
The Bees recorded a 2-0 away win at Chelsea last season. The year before they came away with a thumping 4-1 victory.
Hopefully, the Blues can give supporters some revenge this weekend. But it won’t be easy against a Thomas Frank side that plays with lots of pace, energy and aggression.
Team selection
It’s becoming increasingly more difficult for Blues head coach Mauricio Pochettino to name his XI, which is the way it should be with a competitive squad driving each other.
There’s renewed competition in defence with Reece James and Benoit Badiashile both back fit again.
Elsewhere, there’s finally signs that there is goals in this squad. We’re seeing the likes of Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling emerge as major goal threats.
One area of the pitch where the team looks very secure is in the centre of the park, so it’s a big credit to the recent form of the midfielders.
Pochettino’s side could really do with three points this weekend as they face Tottenham and Manchester City in their final two league games before November’s international break.
