Brentford vs Chelsea live stream and match preview
Looking for a Brentford vs Chelsea live stream? We've got you covered.
Graham Potter's side ran out 2-0 winners against Aston Villa on Sunday, as a Mason Mount brace made it five victories on the bounce in all competitions for the Blues.
It was far from a flawless performance from Chelsea, who took advantage of individual errors made by the home team and had Kepa Arrizabalaga to thank for making several superb stops to continually deny Villa's attack.
Yet Chelsea are going along nicely under Potter. They head into the midweek round of fixtures in fourth place, while the clean sheet at Villa Park was their fourth on the bounce in all competitions. Potter will be delighted with the way his players have responded to his methods.
Brentford were also victorious last time out, as two goals from Ivan Toney saw off Brighton at the Gtech Community Stadium. That was an important win for Thomas Frank's side, who had previously gone three games without one.
The Bees will therefore head into this fixture with renewed confidence after climbing into the top half of the table over the weekend.
Brentford will have to make do without Christian Norgaard, Thomas Strakosha and Aaron Hickey for this west London derby, while Pontus Jansson is a major doubt with a hamstring strain.
Chelsea will be unable to call upon the services of Wesley Fofana, N'Golo Kante and Reece James for Wednesday's match. Thiago Silva and Hakim Ziyech are hoping to be involved, and Arrizabalaga will keep his place between the sticks despite the fact Edouard Mendy is available again.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
