Thomas Frank has issued a strong verdict on Chelsea's winter spending this season with Brentford currently sitting ahead of their west London rivals in the Premier League table. Graham Potter's side are one point behind the Bees heading into their fixture against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and are looking to get back-to-back wins for the first time since October.
The last time the two sides met Chelsea were still unbeaten under Potter, with Brentford ending a five match winning run that had seen the top four become a serious challenge for the Blues. Since then they have won just twice in the league in nine matches.
Brentford themselves are having a fine season after spending less than £50m over the summer, whilst Todd Boehly spent more than that on teenagers alone, bringing in over £250m worth of talent. None of the summer deals are yet to have any tangible rewards and it has led to the big spending this month.
