PL Predictions: Brentford to expose 'soft' Chelsea

Chelsea's struggles against physical opponents and set pieces pose a significant challenge ahead of their Friday night trip to Brentford. 5 set-piece goals per match, a weakness previously shown when Hull City scored off a corner after Emiliano Martínez mishandled the ball.

73 expected goals from dead-ball scenarios across the clubs' last three encounters, prompting predictions of a 2-1 home victory with Brentford priced at even money in the draw no bet market.

Elsewhere, Tottenham's upcoming Saturday lunchtime fixture against Aston Villa is tipped to produce few goals amid serious attacking struggles. 95 per contest.

92 per game his squads posted during his tenures at Brighton and Marseille.
