On paper, Chelsea is superior to Brentford, in many ways the quality of Pochettino squad is still behind Brentford. Despite a series of inconsistent results during the season, Chelsea are now experiencing gradual improvement as several injured players are back available. I think they have managed to find their confidence again, and Pochettino is halfway to forming his ideal squad for this season. Previously, the Blues forced Arsenal, who were in top form, to share points at Stamford Bridge, Brentford seemed to be easier for them to beat.
Chilwell, Chalobah, Fofana and Christopher Nkunku are still injured, Pochettino still doesn't have a complete squad while coaching Chelsea. However, I am quite sure that this time they will be able to get three points in an effort to improve their position in the standings, at least the Blues can end the season better than last season. On the other hand, the big match between Man United and Man City is indeed worth waiting for, a match that is very decisive for City to win the top of the EPL standings.
Chelsea must be aware of several weaknesses such as when they faced Arsenal, because if they make the same mistakes, it is not impossible that Chelsea will have to share points or lose at home. Several injured players are also a problem because Pochettino's young squad generally finds it difficult to control emotions and is easily provoked into playing wider, which in the end becomes a weak point that Brentford can exploit to counterattack. Chelsea are indeed favorites in this match because they are playing at home and I am sure they will win the match with a difference of two goals.
This week's Manchester derby is much more interesting because both teams want to get full points in an effort to maintain their respective positions in the standings. Man City needs full points to be able to occupy first place in the standings and Man United also does not want to be embarrassed at home. Erik Ten Hak also needs full points to be able to catch up to the top five standings after having such a bad start to the season. So this Derby will be much more interesting to look forward to because the competition between the two is much tighter and is always prestigious.
