We simulated Brentford vs Chelsea to get a Premier League score prediction

Chelsea will be looking to continue their winning run in the Premier League tonight when they face Brentford in the Premier League.

Mason Mount scored twice for Chelsea in their last outing as the Blues won 2-0 against Aston Villa, making it four wins on the bounce for Graham Potter's side. In all competitions, Chelsea have kept clean sheets in their last four games, and they will attempt to do the same when they visit the Brentford Community Stadium tonight.

A win for Chelsea could potentially see the Blues open up a six-point gap between themselves and Manchester United in fifth, depending on their result against Spurs. But it won't be an easy task - the last meeting between the two sides saw the Bees defeat Chelsea 4-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Wesley Fofana, N'Golo Kante and Reece James are all guaranteed to miss the short trip to Brentford, whilst Thiago Silva may also miss out, with Potter claiming there's no injury problem, but the 38-year-old needs the right recovery.

So, could Chelsea make it five league wins in a row this weekend? We simulated the game to try and predict the outcome. To complete the simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We then predict the hosts could line up in a 4-3-3 formation as follows: Raya; Ajer, Pinnock, Mee, Henry; Onyeka, Janelt, Jensen; Mbuemo, Toney, Wissa.

We predict that Potter could set up in a 4-3-2-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Koulibaly, Chilwell; Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Kovacic; Sterling, Mount; Aubameyang.

Chelsea got off to the perfect start in the first half, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opening the scoring from close range.

A nice piece of play down the left saw Ben Chilwell surge down the wing, with the Brentford defence unable to catch up to the England international. Aubameyang timed his run to perfection as the striker burst into the box to meet Chilwell's drilled cross, and the 33-year-old passed the ball into the net for the lead.

It was a dominant display from Chelsea in the opening 45 minutes, entering the break with a well-deserved lead. The Blues were then able to double their lead just moments after the restart, with Aubameyang grabbing his and Chelsea's second of the evening.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek threaded a through ball for Aubameyang to chase, with the striker easily peeling away from his marker and running through on goal. As David Raya started to move off his line to close down Aubameyang, the Gabon international lifted a fantastic lob over the 'keeper, and the ball nestled into the corner to double the lead.

Brentford had failed to cause any sort of threat to Chelsea all game, with Potter's side controlling the game and unlucky not to be five goals ahead after Mount and Raheem Sterling missed golden opportunities. But, with 12 minutes to go, another Aubameyang stunner put the Blues three goals ahead.

Jorginho laid a pass off to Aubameyang as the striker dropped outside the box, and with one flick, the striker had easily skipped past his marker, giving him a sight of goal. The 33-year-old opted to shoot from range, rifling a fantastic effort into the top corner of the net.

A quick counterattack in the 92nd minute saw Brentford pull a goal back through Ivan Toney as Chelsea lost their clean sheet at the death, but the Blues still secured an impressive win.

FIFA 23 predicts that Aubameyang could run riot against Brentford, with the striker scoring a hat-trick to help the Blues win 3-1 in the simulation. The striker was too much for the Bees to handle, but a late goal wiped out a clean sheet for Potter's side.
