Prediction published on 01/03/2024, 10:00  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 02/03/2024 at 02:00 in Premier League Prediction

After their Carabao Cup final loss, Chelsea return to the Premier League. They are 11th in the table and travel to Brentford who are 16th in the table. The Blues won at home against Leeds United in the FA Cup in midweek. There is still a lot of work to be done if they want to be back in European football next season. Chelsea are four points behind seventh place and nine adrift of sixth. There is more consistency being shown by them at present. Over 90 minutes, they are now unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions. Four points have been earned from their last two league games. On the road, they have lost six out of 13 league fixtures but only Liverpool have beaten them in their last four.

Brentford lost 4-2 at West Ham in midweek and are in relegation trouble. Everton being given back four points hasn't helped them at all. They are only five points above the bottom three but Luton Town have a game in hand on them. The Bees have lost their last three league fixtures and conceded nine goals. A form guide for the last 15 Premier League matches has seen them earn just nine points. Only Sheffield United are below them in that form guide. 12 of their last 15 games in the Premier League have been lost and four of their last five at home. 15 goals have been conceded in those matches. We tip Chelsea to get a vital away win.
