Chelsea will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they play host to London rivals Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
Enzo Maresca's time in charge of Chelsea was brought to an end at the start of the month following a run of just one win from seven in the top flight.
Since then, the 8th-placed Blues have battled to a 1-1 draw away at Man City before losing 2-1 at neighbours Fulham.
New boss Liam Rosenior then oversaw a 5-1 FA Cup win over Charlton, but has since seen his side suffer a 3-2 home defeat to Arsenal in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final.
As for Brentford, they will make the short trip across the capital surveying the standings from the lofty heights of 5th place.
Keith Andrews' side have won four of their last five Premier League matches, the most recent of which was a comfortable 3-0 success against Sunderland.
How the bookies view it: Blues to get back on track
Despite finding Premier League wins hard to come by of late, Chelsea come into this clash as firm 7/10 favorites with bet365.
Brentford are as big as 7/2 on bet365 to bag what would be a third Premier League away win in succession, while the draw is also considered unlikely at 18/5 with the same firm.
Head to head: History favours the hosts
Chelsea and Brentford have faced each other 24 times across all competitions, with Chelsea claiming 11 victories, Brentford 7, and 6 matches ending in a draw.
One of those stalemates was this season's reverse fixture, which ended 2-2. The same scoreline on Saturday can be backed at a best price of 14/1 on bet365.
Players to watch: Fernandez to fire?
Having registered a shot on target in 8 of his last 12 Premier League appearances, Enzo Fernandez looks a touch of value to repeat the trick here at 8/11 with BetVictor.
With a mightily impressive return of 16 goals and 1 assist across his 21 Premier League appearances this season, Igor Thiago looks well worthy of support for a goal or an assist here at 11/10 with bet365.
Predicted line-ups
Romeo Lavia remains sidelined for Chelsea, however, both Cole Palmer and Reece James are expected to return to the starting XI after missing the midweek loss to Arsenal. Moses Caicedo also comes back into contention after serving a suspension.
Brentford's injury issues are beginning to ease, with Fabio Carvalho and Josh Dasilva the only two players currently in the treatment room. Dango Ouattara could feature after his Africa Cup of Nations duties, however Frank Onyeka remains away on international duty.
Chelsea: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Garnacho; Pedro
Brentford: Kelleher; Kayode, Ajer, Collins, Henry; Yarmolyuk, Janelt; Ouattara, Jensen, Schade; Thiago
Anything else catch the eye?
Backing both teams to score alongside both teams to receive a card will bring about an eye-catching 10/11 bet builder on bet365.
This combination has clicked in 8 of Chelsea's last 9 Premier League matches, including three of their previous four home games.
The case is further strengthened by the fact that this bet builder would have proven profitable in two of Brentford's last four top-flight fixtures.
