CHELSEA are up against Brentford in their next Premier League clash – and they’ll be desperate for a win.
The Blues have yet to pick up a victory in four games since Frank Lampard took over as manager, and they haven’t won a single game since the beginning of March.
Chelsea haven’t won a single game under Frank Lampard since his return
Ivan Toney has scored 19 Premier League goals for Brentford this season
A home clash against London rivals Brentford may be the perfect opportunity for Lampard’s Blues to finally pick up some much-needed form.
Chelsea’s search for a new manager is intensifying, with Mauricio Pochettino now looking the favourite to become the new boss.
But before that happens, the Blues just need a win, and it won’t be easy against a Bees side who are also desperate to pick up a victory.
Ivan Toney and Co are winless in six but they sit a place above Chelsea in the table, and they’ll be hoping they can extend that gap on Wednesday night.
