Brentford vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after Blues score late equaliser
The Carabao Cup finalists head to the Gtech Community Stadium
The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
Brentford host Chelsea this afternoon and both teams could do with finding consistency and winning ways, with the Bees down in 16th and on a three-game losing streak, while the Blues are 11th with one win in four in the league.
A late FA Cup win in midweek might boost confidence a little after a Carabao Cup final defeat, but Chelsea have been well-below expectations and Mauricio Pochettino has responded by switching to a 3-5-2 set-up at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Chelsea’s Sterling has yet to score or assist a Premier League goal in four games against Brentford, the most he’s faced a side without registering a single goal involvement. He’s only faced Manchester United (20 games and two assists) and Hull City (six games and one assist) more often without scoring than his four against the Bees.

POST! Reguilon goes close to doubling Brentford's advantage. Chelsea cannot handle the Bees' crosses into the box, with Roerslev drilling a ball over to Reguilon. The left-back gets ahead of Gusto and sends his downward header towards the bottom-left corner but hits the post.
