Preview: Brentford vs. Chelsea – prediction, team news, lineups
Ivan Toney could hardly be doing any more to force his way into Gareth Southgate’s World Cup plans, as the Brentford striker came up with both of his side’s goals in a 2-0 win over Brighton to kick off the most recent round of Premier League fixtures.
Toney’s cheeky flick in the 27th minute preceded a coolly-taken penalty just after the hour mark, and while Brighton certainly had their chances to make the net ripple at the Brentford Community Stadium, David Raya was equal to all of the Seagulls’ efforts.
Having snapped a miserable three-game winless streak in which they only claimed one point from a possible nine, Thomas Frank’s men are still clinging on to a coveted top-half spot as they lie ninth in the rankings with 13 points, just one behind seventh-placed Brighton having played a game more.
Barring that 3-0 loss to rampant leaders Arsenal, the Brentford Community Stadium has been something of a fortress for the Bees this term, taking 10 points from 15 on offer and averaging more than two goals per game in front of their own fans – no surprise given the form Toney finds himself in.
A slice of club history is on the line for Brentford this week, as they could win a midweek Premier League match for the first time ever – losing five of their six battles on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays so far – but Chelsea have only known how to win this month.
Tyrone Mings was the giver, and Mason Mount gratefully received the gifts he was presented with from the Aston Villa centre-back in the West Midlands, as Chelsea maintained their 100% October record with a 2-0 success to pile the pressure on Steven Gerrard.
