Chelsea to Win
Chelsea have won four of their last five head-to-heads with Brentford and while they lost heavily when these two teams met in the league last time out, we're backing Potter's men to walk away with all 3pts on Wednesday. Chelsea are in top form right now with five wins from their last five matches in all competitions, including the double over AC Milan, so you can see why we're backing the visitors to continue their fine run this week.
Over 2.5 Goals
There is a good chance that we will be treated to plenty of goalmouth action in this game as four of the last six meetings between Brentford and Chelsea have produced over 3.5 goals. Three of Brentford's and three of Chelsea's last five outings in all competitions have also witnessed at least three goals scored, adding further weight to our prediction.

Brentford aiming to make it back-to-back home wins
Brentford had the home advantage against Graham Potter's former side Brighton at the weekend where once again, Ivan Toney was the star of the show. The Bees' frontman opened the scoring in the 27th-minute after good work from Onyeka who claimed an assist. Brentford held that lead into the halftime break and in the 64th-minute, the hosts were awarded a penalty which Toney coolly dispatched to double his and his teams' tally for the night and Brentford went on to secure a 2-0 victory.
Brentford Predicted Lineup: Raya, Mee, Ajer, Henry, Pinnock, Jensen, Janelt, Onyeka, Toney, Wissa & Mbeumo
Chelsea came under lots of pressure away at Aston Villa on Sunday and had to thank their goalkeeper Kepa for keeping them in the game. Chelsea took the lead when Mings misplaced a header that Mount ran onto and place into the back of the Aston Villa goal in just the 6th-minute. The very same player then scored directly from a free-kick in the 65th-minute to help wrap up a 2-0 victory for the Londoners.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup: Kepa, Koulibaly, Cucurella, Chalobah, Chilwell, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Havertz, Aubameyang & Sterling
Team News
Brentford: Christian Norgaard, Pontus Jansson, Thomas Strakosha and Aaron Hickey are all doubts for the Chelsea game.
Chelsea: Thiago Silva, Hakim Ziyech, Wesley Fofana, Reece James and N'Golo Kante might not make the short trip to Brentford.
