Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca believes his side’s hard-fought victory over Tottenham can be the perfect springboard as the Blues gear up for another London derby, this time against Brentford.

Speaking ahead of the weekend clash, Maresca acknowledged the quick turnaround but stressed how important the confidence from the Tottenham win is in preparing both mentally and physically for the trip to the Gtech Community Stadium.

“Every time you win, preparation for the next game is better,” the Italian said. “Hopefully, from the Tottenham game we can build momentum knowing that every game will be difficult until the end.”

That win over Spurs was more than just three points—it was a gritty performance that showed character, unity, and tactical discipline. Chelsea fans have been craving consistency, and Maresca knows momentum is key if his team are to finish the season strongly.

However, the Chelsea boss isn’t underestimating Brentford, despite the Bees’ midweek defeat to Newcastle.

“You saw on Wednesday night they lost away at Newcastle, but it was a tough game,” Maresca warned. “From now on, every game is going to be tough.”

Fatigue will also be a factor as the games come thick and fast, and Maresca is keen for his players to manage their recovery effectively. While the Brentford fixture offers a different type of challenge compared to Spurs, Maresca is backing his squad to respond with the same energy and focus.

A win at Brentford would mark a significant step forward for Maresca’s side, not just in the table but in their belief. The Tottenham result might just be the ignition Chelsea need to finish the campaign on a high.
