Can Brentford pull off another shocking result against Premier League leaders Chelsea?

Brentford and their “Moneyball” approach cannot be undermined, having already stolen points from two of the traditional top-six.

Brentford have caught the fancy of football fans aplenty with their modern iteration of “Moneyball” and after having come ever so close to promotion in the season gone by, they secured their ticket to the big league via a playoff victory this season.

Thomas Frank sets the Bees up to be hard to beat. Their 3 centre backs provide a solid defensive core which is reinforced by wing backs and 3 hard-working central midfielders who work to shield as well as to carry and create.

Ivan Toney up top has been fantastic, holding the ball up and linking play tidily to create chances for himself and Bryan Mbeumo running off him.

A team whose approach is driven by data, they understand the value in every avenue to goal and use their size advantage to be a ubiquitous threat from set plays, notching up an xG of 2.96 from set pieces alone this season, fourth-best in the Premier League on this metric.
