Brentford preview: Buzzing Bees
Brentford come into this one on the back of a predictably entertaining 2-2 draw with Everton last weekend, having taken the lead twice against the Toffees before having to settle for a point at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The Bees began the season under a cloud after a very busy summer transfer window and the pressure was on Keith Andrews but the Irishman has put him in the frame to be the Manager of the Season in the Premier League.
Fulham preview: Frustrated Fulham
There is a feeling that Marco Silva may depart Fulham this summer with the Portuguese coach once again overseeing a mid-table finish and, perhaps, some stagnation at Craven Cottage after a difficult run of form.
Up against a poor and under pressure Liverpool side at Anfield last weekend, Fulham succumbed to a 2-0 loss to the Reds due to first-half strikes from Rio Ngumoha and Mohamed Salah on Merseyside.

Brentford vs Fulham prediction
Fulham remain an entertaining watch and will believe they can create enough to test a potentially nervy Brentford side. This game has produced a fair few goals of late with 25 goals in the seven games they have played since both were in the Premier League together - with a goalless draw bringing that average down. As a result, a high-scoring affair should be backed for this one in the capital city at lunchtime on Saturday.
Brentford vs Fulham tip: Over 2.5 goals
