The Premier League returns this weekend with Fulham set to host Brentford in a London derby at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
Marco Silva’s men sit 11th in the standings and have struggled for consistency so far this campaign. However, they come into this game on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win over Leeds United and will be hoping to build on that result.
Brentford, meanwhile, find themselves just behind in 12th place after a mixed run of form this season. The Bees will take confidence from their FA Cup triumph in midweek, where they overcame Aston Villa on penalties to progress. Keith Andrews’ side will now be eager to translate that momentum into league action.
Fulham did the double over Brentford in the Premier League last season and will be aiming to extend their dominance in this fixture. Another victory would give the Cottagers three consecutive league wins against their West London rivals, a feat that would further boost their push for a top-half finish.
