CHELSEA will be determined to secure the West London bragging rights when they take on Brentford this Wednesday.
The Graham Potter era is well and truly underway as the Blues made it five wins on the spin courtesy of a 2-0 triumph over Aston Villa.
And victory against their London rivals Brentford would see them close the gap on third-place Tottenham who face a tough trip to Old Trafford on the same night.
However, the Blues defence could have their hands full against an inform Ivan Toney as his delightful double secured three points in the Bees’ clash with Brighton.
To make matters worse, Brentford ran riot when the teams last met so they’ll be heading into this match with confidence as a collective.
