Brentford vs. Chelsea Picks
Unless there’s a major upset, there’s only one winner here.
Brentford have yet to truly find themselves under Andrews and this really isn’t the game to do it. Despite losing Liam Delap, Chelsea looks a team in form with far too much firepower for the Bees.
Only one winner and its Chelsea in this one.
Other markets include Joao Pedro to score two or more goals, Pedro Neto to get two or more shots on target and Enzo Fernandez to get an assist.
