What is at stake in Chelsea vs. Brentford?

Rosenior kicked off his Chelsea tenure by battering Charlton Athletic 5-1 last Saturday, and though they were beaten by Arsenal in midweek, his team showed some promising signs, even without key stars Moises Caicedo, Reece James and Cole Palmer.

However, the Blues are currently on a five-game winless run in the Premier League - drawing three and losing two - and ending that streak with a triumph at his first attempt would give the new manager a significant boost.

Chelsea sit eighth in the top flight ahead of this weekend, and their tally of 31 points sees them three behind their fifth-placed opponents, as well as four short of fourth-placed Liverpool.

With that in mind, Brentford will be desperate to avoid losing on Saturday, as their surprise push for Europe hangs in the balance.

Andrews's side are in excellent form prior to kick off, having won five of their six most recent outings across all competitions, not to mention that they have kept back-to-back clean sheets in their last two.

The Bees will also be motivated by the fact that they are just two points behind Arne Slot's unconvincing Liverpool, knowing that victory could see them remarkably climb into the Champions League spots.
