What's inside your Brentford v Chelsea matchday programme

Vitaly Janelt is the matchday programme feature interview for Brentford's Premier League clash against Chelsea at Gtech Community Stadium.

The Bees will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season when Xabi Alonso's side make the short trip to TW8 for Friday night's west London derby (8pm kick-off BST, live on Sky Sports).

In the matchday programme, long-serving midfielder Janelt opens up on life as a new dad, from 3am walks around Richmond to swapping parenting advice with Brentford team-mates.

That interview is the next in a series of exclusive Long Read features with the Bees' first-team players and staff that is included in the new and improved 2026/27 programme, which is available for just £3 once again this season.
