History of the Brentford v Chesterfield fixture

Brentford prepare to entertain Chesterfield at Griffin Park on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bees are clearly on top, having won 17 and lost only 4 of the 33 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Griffin Park was just last season, in January 2008, the Bees carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Two match.
