Follow Daily Mail Sport's live coverage for the latest updates as Brentford host Chelsea in the west London derby in the Premier League. Oh, how anti-climactic?Morgan Rogers is the player who takes the free-kick, not Cole Palmer, and it's pants.Caomihin Kelleher doesn't even have to move; that's how poor Rogers' strike is.Now the Brentford fans are singing 'You're not fit to referee', for some reason...YELLOW CARD: Brentford 0-0 Chelsea Austin MacPhee fuming again, so you know what that means, don't you?Yep, another rubbish set piece.But wait, as I type that Cole Palmer is brought down just outside the box, and now Chelsea have a great opportunity from 20 yards out.Mikkel Damsgaard gets a booking for what is a very poor challenge.'Chelsea learning lessons'Kieran Gill at Gtech Community Stadium:Chelsea seem to have learned some lessons from Hull's second goal last week, at least. They are now assigning someone to mark the man at the edge of the box for set-pieces this time. Though even then, Brentford got a chance out of a set-play, at which we know they are ultra strong. Brentford 0-0 Chelsea That's a bit better from Brentford.The hosts have finally sparked into life, somewhat, and are pushing forward.Their first proper move of the match ends up in a corner, and then Keane Lewis-Potter has an effort on goal.But his low strike is easily blocked.Brentford 0-0 Chelsea Erm...I knew Valentin Barco was a small fella, but my word, I did not expect him to see him tossed so far that he nearly ends up at Stamford Bridge.Kevin Schade has just pushed the lad back into Chelsea; he flies that far off the ground.Quite impressive, in all honesty.Brentford 0-0 Chelsea I agree with Ian, this is pants.While Chelsea have had their moments, largely they are doing absolutely diddly squat.This game can only get better (please... please get better).'Poor game'Ian Ladyman at Gtech Community Stadium:Poor game so far. Chelsea largely dominating possession but no speed to their play. Brentford need a spark to get the crowd going.Brentford 0-0 Chelsea I can't lie, Brentford really haven't got going yet.The only thing their fans have been able to cheer about are the Chelsea mistakes, nothing else.The Bees have barely got near the ball, let alone had a hold of it. Chelsea well on top.'Brentford fans making their feelings known'Bobby Manzi at Gtech Community Stadium:It’s hardly surprising but the Valentin Barco booing trend has continued tonight with the Brentford fans making their feelings known every time he touches the ball for his involvement in the Argentina World Cup debacle. Barco is making his first Premier League start for Chelsea tonight.'Impressed by Chavarria'Kieran Gill at Gtech Community Stadium:Ten minutes into his first Premier League start, I'm impressed by Pep Chavarria, the 28-year-old summer signing from Rayo Vallecano. He's been a bundle of energy down Chelsea's left.Brentford 0-0 ChelseaAustin MacPhee is going absolutely mental.The Chelsea set-piece coach is not happy with his team's latest free-kick as it ends up in Caoimhin Kelleher's hands.I mean, does it really warrant a reaction like that? I don't think so...GOOD SAVE! Brentford 0-0 Chelsea Chelsea have woken up, I repeat, Chelsea have woken up.The Blues are right on the Brentford backline now, and Pedro Neto has the first real chance of the game.The ball drops to Danny Welbeck and he shifts the ball straight over to Neto in space.The Portuguese winger lets fly, and Caoimhin Kelleher beats his effort away.
