The Gabon international is clearly enjoying the managerial change and life at Stamford Bridge so would make sense to keep an eye on him. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has picked up three goals in his last four appearances for Chelsea which has demonstrated just how well he has been under Potter. For Chelsea, it is six in 13 in all competitions including five from their nine league outings but in their current five-match winning run, the last four have finished win-to-nil. Brentford, meanwhile, returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion after a three-match winless run which included conceding eight goals in that time. The Bees are looking to win back-to-back league games against Chelsea for the first time since February 1939 after winning at Stamford Bridge 4-1 last season. The Blues have not lost under Potter yet and have only conceded two goals in the early stages of his tenure at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have a second Premier League away trip in the space of four days, making the short journey across west London to face Brentford.

Koulibaly tumbles a Brentford player on the right wing, shutting down the home side's advance. Broja picks up Pinnock's header in the Brentford half, shimmying ...

Chelsea came away with all three points in a slender 1-0 victory in TW8, but largely due to the heroics of Edouard Mendy. Jorginho goes down going for the ball, so there's a Chelsea free kick on the edge of their box. Chalobah clears shakily, and Brentford sends an opportunity, firing into the Chelsea half. He tips it over the bar for a Brentford corner. Chelsea bother the box, but can't find their way in. Chelsea snatch back possession quickly, keen to maintain the rhythm they established going into the half-time break. Koulibaly makes a heart-stopping block, sending the ball out for a Brentford corner. Mbeumo streaking through has a run at goal, which the Chelsea captain forces off for a corner. After Chukwuemena has a shot on goal, Brentford get underway, and there's a chance which looks to bore its way through the side netting. As the ball spills out, Brentford try again, and after a period of wild defending, Chelsea has the break, Aubameyang leading the charge. Chelsea are forced back by Brentford, and play comes to a halt when Baptiste takes the ball to the chest, likely winding himself. Chelsea corner – which flies in and appears to hit Pinnock's arm!

With the various injury and fitness concerns, Potter has opted to rotate slightly while switching to what looks like a back-four. Armando Broja gets his first ...

(NGA); [elsewhere](https://www.livesoccertv.com/match/4354977/brentford-vs-chelsea/) The Bees can be a docile midtable outfit, unless you make them angry and have them sting you repeatedly.

Chelsea will be tangling with Ivan Toney and a tricky Bees side that beat Brighton and Hove Albion in the same building at the weekend.

Armel Bella-Kotchap injured his shoulder against West Ham and had to come off, so Duje Caleta-Car comes in at center back in Saints’ only change. David Brooks and Lloyd Kelly are still working their way back from injury, while Ben Pearson is on the bench. Bournemouth head to West Ham on Monday, Oct. 24, while Saints host Arsenal on Sunday, Oct. Bournemouth went with a back three which was unexpected and some of their defenders seemed to be leaving it to one another and were confused positionally. Saints started with their trademark 4-2-2-2 system and they looked much more comfortable, especially defensively, with Maitland-Niles and Ward-Prowse sat in front of the back four. Newcastle had been buzzing along in attack until last week, when the scoreless draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford showed the strength of its defense. This will be controversial in some circles (Liverpool circles, really), but Kieran Trippier is playing better than any healthy English fullback in the Premier League right now. That Guimares bought into the project at all is impressive, but Newcastle will find it difficult to resist overtures for the Brazilian international if they can’t fast-forward their European ambitions. Almiron’s form, found: Atlanta United’s most-famous export has five goals this season including four in his last four, and he’s made the extended absence of Allan Saint-Maximin an afterthought. Pulisic was bright, daring, and did not lack for confidence in almost certainly raising Potter’s eyebrows moving forward. The USMNT winger did enough to get an assist but fellow sub Carney Chukwuemeka and his mates couldn’t supply the dagger.
