Chelsea should be winning their first Premier League game under a new manager.

Now, Maresca didn't get fired because he was doing terribly.

Maresca got fired because he had an issue with the higher ups.

Liam Rossignol has been told that it's expected that Chelsea gets themselves into the Champions League places.

Now, that may seem like a big ask because there's a lot of teams vying for those Champions League places.

Man United are going for it.

Aston Villa and Liverpool currently occupy two of the places.

Newcastle have improved as of late.

So lots of competition.

That is the target for Rossignol.

Now, why do I think that they should win this game?

Brentford have been doing very well as of late.

But at the end of the day, this is a team who do travel poorly.

Yes, they're fifth in the table.

Yes, they are on a decent unbeaten run coming into this one.

But they have just three away wins from 10 Premier League games so far.

They have seven defeats.

Every single one of their away wins came against bottom half teams.

In fact, two of them came against teams in the relegation zone right now.

So this should be a game that Chelsea win with or without players suffering from a virus.
