Why Chelsea vs Brentford Won’t Be on TV in the UK, How To Watch the Premier League Game

• Chelsea's London derby against Brentford on Sunday night will not be televised on TV for UK viewers
• The Blues' commitments in Europe forced the game to be moved from Saturday to Sunday evening
• Briefly News explains why it won't be televised in the UK and where other viewers can watch the clash

Chelsea will welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge tonight, looking to cement their credentials as title favourites this season.

Head coach Enzo Maresca has repeatedly insisted that his side are not in the title race yet, but a win against the Bees at home could see them close the gap at the top to just two points.

It won't be easy, considering Chelsea have never beaten today's opposition at Stamford Bridge since they (Brentford) were promoted back to the Premier League in 2021.
