Brentford's schedule for the next six matches in all competitions has been set, beginning with a Premier League home fixture against Chelsea on Friday, 18 September. The Bees are currently fifth in the table with six points from four games, having drawn their last three league matches, most recently a 2-2 result at Bournemouth.
Kevin Schade scored twice in that draw on the south coast, netting in the 34th and 56th minutes to help secure a point. The team's recent form shows they are unbeaten in their last five outings across all competitions, a run that includes a 6-1 win at Birmingham and a 3-0 victory over Tottenham.
Upcoming fixtures
The sequence of games sees Chelsea visit the Gtech Community Stadium first. Thomas Frank's side then host Bournemouth on 10 October before travelling to face Everton a week later. A London derby against Tottenham Hotspur at home follows on 24 October. The fourth round of the Carabao Cup is scheduled across 27 and 28 October, with the exact opponent and venue to be determined by the draw. The run concludes with a home match against Manchester United on 31 October.
This busy period will test a squad currently without several key players due to injury. Midfielders Antoni Milambo, Josh Dasilva and Mathias Jensen are sidelined, alongside defenders Nathan Collins and Sepp van den Berg. Their absence places greater responsibility on the fit members of the squad, including top scorer Vitaly Janelt, who has two goals this season. Fans can track the team's progress and check the full list of fixtures on the club site.
Brentford's league position, just six points behind leaders Arsenal, provides a solid platform ahead of this challenging spell. The team has scored seven goals while conceding four in the Premier League so far. The immediate focus is fully on preparing for the visit of Chelsea, who sit one place above them in fourth. That match kicks off at 20:00 on 18 September.
