Brentford 2 Chelsea 2

THE pressure on Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas is intensifying by the minute after a miserable Carling Cup exit to Liverpool made it three home defeats in four matches and ended hopes of an early trophy to buy himself time in what is becoming an increasingly difficult season.

CHELSEA will attempt to end their miserable run of form when they take on MSK Zilina in the Champions League tonight but they will have to do with it with little more than a reserve side.
