The Blues make the very short journey to the Gtech Community Stadium for this West London derby.
Also known as Brentford Community Stadium, this venue holds a capacity of 17,250 and it has served as the home ground of Brentford FC since 2020. A relatively small capacity means tickets for this fixture could prove pricey and hard to come by, particularly for supporters of the away team.

Brentford vs Chelsea History
The first meeting between these fellow London clubs came in 1935, as Chelsea earned a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge. The Bees and the Blues continued to battle each other in the First Division until WWII broke out.
Following the War, in 1947, Brentford were relegated from the top division of the Football League. Thus, clashes with Chelsea became infrequent over the subsequent decades.
In 2013, these teams shared a pitch for the first time in more than 60 years. Griffin Park was the venue for this FA Cup Fourth Round tie, which ended all square. Chelsea won by four goals to nil in the replay, just six miles away at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues were the holders of the Cup at the time and they went on to reach the semi-finals, losing to eventual runners-up Manchester City.
Four years later, Brentford and Chelsea reconvened in the FA Cup, once again in the Fourth Round. An identical scoreline ensued (4-0) as Chelsea progressed to the final at Wembley, where they were beaten by Arsenal.
Come the end of the 2022/23 season, Brentford had yet to win a major (first tier) trophy. Meanwhile, Chelsea had won the FA Cup eight times as well as five league titles in the Premier League era. The Blues also celebrated success in the UEFA Champions League in 2012 and again in 2021, with two Europa League titles in between.
Ron Harris, the individual with the most appearances for Chelsea FC, ended his playing career with Brentford following an 18-year stay at Stamford Bridge.
Ivan Toney made his Premier League debut against Chelsea in 2015, in the colours of Newcastle United, before joining Brentford five years later.
Brentford vs Chelsea Head-to-Head
After the Bees gained promotion to the Premier League in 2021, they shared a pitch with Chelsea for only the 15th time ever.
In 2022/23, Brentford and Chelsea played out a goalless draw in this fixture. The previous season, Ben Chilwell scored the only goal in a narrow 1-0 win for the visiting Blues – 74 years after the teams had last contested a top-flight fixture.
These local rivals also met in the fifth round of the 2021/22 League Cup. Jorginho converted a penalty to seal a 2-0 victory for Chelsea, but the west Londoners would go on to lose to Liverpool in the final at Wembley.
