Brentford 0-0 Chelsea: Bees hold Enzo Maresca's side to a frustrating draw in west London derby to slow Blues momentum in top four race

Brentford held Chelsea to a frustrating draw in a stale west London derby, which ended 0-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium. 

The Blues failed to strengthen their grip on fourth place in the Premier League, handing Man City the opportunity to leapfrog them in the table if Pep Guardiola’s side are victorious in today’s Manchester derby.

Meanwhile, Brentford missed the chance to keep putting pressure on the European places, as they now sit eight points off Newcastle in seventh.
