Brentford beat Chelsea in style
I wonder if Chelsea believe Brentford have a style of play after that hiding under the Friday Night Lights at the G-Tech.

Leeds 1-1 Brentford: Andrews has already changed the away-day picture
The big question from the Leeds preview was whether Keith Andrews could push Brentford on and take the levels from the home performances into away games.

Spurs. Wow. #Brentfordfc position on the graph suggests a relatively balanced but moderately high-intensity approach. We are positioned slightly above avg in terms of sprinting in possession and around the league avg in sprinting out of possession yet have struggled with similar load type injuries.

The most striking metric here #Brentfordfc is the Field Tilt. Brentford’s 76.1% highlights their dominance in the attacking third. This territorial advantage, combined with a higher xG and xThreat points to Bees being the more aggressive and forward-pressing team.

Having recently boasted the best home record, tough fixtures have taken their toll: winless in 4 at the Gtech. Brentford’s close loss to Liverpool highlights a broader growing trend across the league: visitors turning tight games into wins. #BrentfordFC
