Brentford Boss Thomas Frank Names Who He Thinks Is The Best Premier League Side Right Now
After graduating from Kingston University with an upper second-class Honours degree, I learned the ropes in sports journalism starting at Sports Mole before making my way through the ranks at the MailOnline. I started initially as a freelancer before going on to become an assistant sports editor in seven years at the company. Love football, cursed by Spurs and you can catch me watching/falling asleep to the F1 while hungover on a Sunday.

Thomas Frank believes Chelsea are the best Premier League team at the moment as he prepares his Brentford side to face them this Sunday.
The Blues are in a hot streak of form going into the west London derby. They’ve won six straight games in all competitions and are closing the gap to leaders Liverpool.
Ahead of their clash at Stamford Bridge, Frank has heaped praise on Enzo Maresca’s side.
Thomas Frank: Chelsea Are More In-Form Than Liverpool
Thomas Frank knows Chelsea will be an incredibly test but insists his Bees side are up for the challenge.
“They are maybe the best team in the Premier League right now,” Frank said. “They are maybe even more in-form than Liverpool, even though they are top of the league,’ said Frank.
‘Chelsea 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.”
Bees Flying In The Premier League
While Thomas Frank believes Chelsea are the best team going at the moment, he’ll be delighted with his own side’s form.
Brentford bounced back from defeat by Aston Villa to beat Newcastle last week.
Frank has also been handed a double injury boost with Kristoffer Ajer and Vitaly Janelt both set to return to face their west London rivals.
Brentford are currently ninth in the table, four points adrift of Manchester City in fourth.
