Fulham take on Brentford in mid-table West London derby.
In a Monday night mid-table London derby, Fulham aim to break a three-game winless streak against a Brentford side eager to maintain their impressive away record at Craven Cottage.
Fulham
Fulham are back in this episode of Monday night football, hoping to put an end to a three-game winless run [WWLLD]. They recently ended with a 1-1 draw against Everton, marking their third draw of the Premier League campaign.
With 12 points from their record [3W, 3D, 3L], the Cottagers head into Monday night’s mid-table London derby aiming to leapfrog Brentford. They sit just below Brentford before this meeting.
Fulham have won only one of their last nine league games against Brentford [1W, 3D, 5L], defeating them 3-2 in their first Premier League meeting in August 2022. With these less-than-stellar records, the winless streak could potentially continue.
Moreover, Monday has proven to be unlucky for the Cottagers, having lost six of their last seven Premier League games played on this day. Despite this, Marco Silva hopes to see his side emerge victorious after ninety minutes of play.
A 4—2—3—1 formation is expected, with Raúl Jiménez leading the attack. Timothy Castagne is ruled out, and Carlos Vinícius remains doubtful for the fixture.
Brentford
Brentford are only one point beyond Fulham, whom they are set to meet on Monday. The Bees have amassed 13 points so far, having recently progressed past Sheffield Wednesday in the EFL Cup after triumphing in a penalty shootout.
Their track record against Fulham at Craven Cottage is favorable, with Brentford having lost only once in their last 11 away league games there, securing five wins and five draws. They've failed to score just once during these encounters, and will be eager to continue this run of form.
Thomas Frank, speaking ahead of the local derby, remarked, 'It's a local derby, and, in recent years, it has been very tight between the two teams - we have had some fantastic games against each other. It’s going to be a tough test - but, on the flip side, we’re pretty good as well! I’m just excited; I think it will be a top game.'
Despite Brentford's solid away performance against Fulham, their recent defensive form is a cause for concern, as they have conceded eight goals in their last three Premier League matches. They are expected to line up in a 4—2—3—1 formation, with Yoane Wissa leading the attack, though they face the challenge of being without five players, including Gustavo Nunes.
