Player to watch – Bryan Mbeumo
Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo scored a consolation goal from the spot against Newcastle in midweek to bring his tally for the Premier League campaign up to a career-best 16 goals for the Bees.
Mbuemo has a good record against Chelsea
Mbuemo tends to perform well against Chelsea and has scored three times in six previous appearances against the Blues. The 25-year-old notched his latest goal against Chelsea earlier this season in December and the Cameroonian international should carry a significant threat in the final third again on Sunday.
