📋 Team News: Brentford

Yunus Emre Konak (Adductor injury), Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery), Aaron Hickey (Hamstring injury), Ben Mee (Ankle injury), Rico Henry (Knee injury) and Ryan Trevitt (Ankle surgery) are unavailable for Brentford boss Thomas Frank.

It looks as if The Bees should use a 4-3-3 formation for this game, handing starts to Mark Flekken, K. Vassbakk Ajer, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock, Sergio Reguilon, Mathias Jensen, Christian Noergaard, Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney and Yoane Wissa.

🗞️ Team News: Fulham

With a completely healthy group available to choose from, the Fulham manager Marco Silva has zero fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this match.

We reckon that The Cottagers seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Bernd Leno, Timothy Castagne, Issa Diop, Calvin Bassey, Antonee Robinson, Joao Palhinha, Sasa Lukic, Alex Iwobi, Andreas Pereira, Willian and Rodrigo Muniz.

✨ Prediction

It looks to us that Brentford should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

However, Fulham could well find it tough to score although we do reckon that they could well end up pulling one back during this clash.

We can therefore see a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for Brentford come full-time.
