Brentford and Chelsea Set for Premier League Clash at Gtech Community Stadium

Brentford will host Chelsea in a highly anticipated Premier League Round 4 fixture at the Gtech Community Stadium on September 13, 2025, with kickoff scheduled for 20:00. Referee Stuart Attwell will oversee this London derby as both teams look to improve their positions in the early stages of the 2025/2026 season. The Bees, currently sitting 15th in the table with 3 points, will face a formidable challenge against the Blues who have made an impressive start to the campaign, occupying 2nd place with 7 points from their opening three matches.

The recent history between these London rivals has been closely contested, with both teams sharing the spoils in their most recent encounter when they played out a goalless draw at the Gtech Community Stadium on April 6, 2025. Prior to that, Chelsea secured a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge in December 2024, with Marc Cucurella and Nicolas Jackson scoring for the Blues, while Bryan Mbeumo netted a late consolation for Brentford. The five most recent meetings have seen Brentford claim two away wins at Stamford Bridge, both ending 2-0, while another encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium finished in an entertaining 2-2 draw in March 2024, with Jackson and Axel Disasi scoring for Chelsea, and Mads Roerslev and Yoane Wissa finding the net for the Bees.

Brentford enter this fixture with mixed form, having won one, drawn none, and lost two of their last three Premier League matches. They suffered a 2:1 defeat at Sunderland on August 30, but previously secured a 1:0 home victory against Aston Villa on August 23, with Keane Lewis-Potter impressing despite not getting on the scoresheet. Their Premier League campaign began with a 3:1 loss at Nottingham Forest on August 17. The Bees did enjoy cup success with a 2:0 win at AFC Bournemouth in the EFL Cup on August 26. Chelsea, meanwhile, have made a strong start to the season with two wins and one draw in their opening three Premier League fixtures. They defeated Fulham 2:0 on August 30 with Joao Pedro continuing his good form with a goal, following an impressive 5:1 thrashing of West Ham United on August 22 where Pedro contributed a goal and two assists. Their only dropped points came in a 0:0 draw with Crystal Palace on August 17. The Blues' pre-season form was equally impressive with wins against AC Milan (4:1) and Bayer Leverkusen (2:0).
