Last Friday Brentford won an impressive 2:0 victory over Brighton, which allowed the team to break a three-match losing streak and regain their place in the top half of the standings. Today the team will try to break a series of unsuccessful duels on Wednesday. The “bees” lost the last six duels in the middle of the week. In addition, it is impossible not to note the fact that in the last game the team scored twice and brought the score to 18 goals scored, which is already six more than last season. For ten rounds the Londoners have three wins and four draws, which in the end corresponds to 13 points and ninth position. The state of the defense line, which missed 17 times, is alarming. Strakosha, Jansson, Norgaard and Hickey, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to play today.
281 million euros, that’s how much the Chelsea management spent last summer to strengthen the squad. In addition, on September 8, Graham Potter was appointed to the post of head coach, who is called upon to make positive changes that can allow the team to fight in all directions. By the way, Raheem sterling, who moved from Manchester City and for whom they paid 56 million, is still the team’s best goalscorer. In the Premier League championship the team has six wins and a draw for nine rounds, which corresponds to 19 points and fourth position. In the last four rounds, the Blues have won, beating Aston Villa in the last duel (2:0). In the Champions League, the pensioners had success last week with Milan, seven points and the first position in a difficult quartet with Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb. Silva, Fofana, Kante and James, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play today.
