Brentford head coach Thomas Frank believes that Chelsea could be the best team in the Premier League at the moment, ahead of the Bees' trip across west London to face them on Sunday (7pm kick-off GMT).

The Blues sit second in the table, four points behind leaders Liverpool having played a game more, with four wins from their last four league games; most recently, they came from behind to beat Tottenham 4-3 away from home.

Sunday's clash also pits together the two sides with the best attacking records in the division, with both teams scoring a combined 66 league goals this term.

“I expect an interesting game with two good teams," said Frank.

“They are maybe the best team in the Premier League right now. They are maybe even more in-form than Liverpool, even though they are top of the league.

"They are playing incredible football and are well-coached. [Enzo] Maresca has done a top job so far with his coaching staff and they look extremely dangerous.

"They have so many threats going forward and have top-quality players all over the pitch.

“I expect an unbelievably difficult game. They are massive favourites but, of course, we believe that we can compete against anyone and we believe we can win."
