Chelsea make the short trip across West London for their fourth derby of the season already when they face Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.
Enzo Maresca’s men are yet to leave the capital this season, and familiar surroundings have served them well, as they start the weekend up in second.
In a very rare occurrence that will see Chelsea play a fourth London derby after just four games, they return to action off the back of a controversial win over Fulham last time out.
Chelsea were 2-0 winners at Stamford Bridge, but there were two hugely contentious decisions that went in their favour at crucial points in the game, chalking off Fulham’s opener, and the awarding of a second-half penalty to the Blues.
Nevertheless, all that matters is that three points were added to the board, and it maintains Chelsea’s home unbeaten run in 2025 in the Premier League, where they have won nine and drawn three of their 12 matches.
It is also one of the strongest starts Chelsea have made in many years, because for just the second time in seven seasons, they have won at least two of their first three league games to begin a campaign.
