Is Brentford v Chelsea on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League clash | OneFootball

Chelsea make the short trip to Brentford for the Saturday night action in the Premier League.

Enzo Maresca’s side will hope to retain their unbeaten record after a controversial victory over London rivals Fulham last time out, and they enter this weekend having agreed a deal to sign Dutch striker Emanuel Emegha from sister club Strasbourg.

The Bees will have to contend without Yoane Wissa after a deadline day move to Newcastle, and the heartache last time out when a stoppage-time goal from Wilson Isidor secured a late win for Sunderland brings extra motivation to get more points on the board under Keith Andrews.

The Blues will hope to overcome a tricky test post-international break with a number of South American players making the long-haul trip back to their Cobham training base after representing Brazil and Ecuador.

And victory for the visitors will temporarily lift them to the summit of the Premier League, with leaders Liverpool facing Burnley on Sunday. Here’s everything you need to know about the fixture:
