“I predict” – Alan Shearer shares his prediction for Chelsea’s clash with Brentford | OneFootball

Chelsea take on Brentford in the London derby at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and Alan Shearer has given his prediction.

The Blues have made a brilliant start to the season and currently sit four points behind leaders Liverpool in second, whilst they are two clear of Arsenal in third.

Enzo Maresca’s men have lost just two of their opening 15 games and have surprisingly found themselves in the title race conversation.

A win would see Chelsea make it seven wins in a row in all competitions and five in a row in the Premier League, as the league’s two top scorers prepare to lock horns.

Brentford currently sit ninth, but have only picked up one of their 23 points away from home this campaign, although they have won on their last three visits to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea don’t have a good record against the Bees and are winless in their last meetings with Frank’s side, whilst they have only beaten Brentford once in the Premier League.

The Blues are likely to be favourites heading into this game, although they will be without the suspended Pedro Neto, whilst it’s unclear if Romeo Lavia or Mykhailo Mudryk will be available.

Shearer believes Chelsea will have enough to see off the threat of Brentford and has backed the Blues to get the three points.

“Brentford’s away form is not good, but their home record is unbelievable and that’s why they are where they are,” he told The Metro

“But Chelsea, with the form that they’re in, will win this game. Even though they haven’t got far to travel it’s still an away game for Brentford which is why I predict a defeat for them.
