"Drawing a line under their four-match winless rut against Premier League opposition, Keith Andrews' men are sat within touching distance of finding a route into the top-half of the table. Hoping to secure consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since the end of October, the Bees will also be excited to make a return to the English capital this weekend."
"Likewise, undergoing knee surgery last month, the Bees have already confirmed that ex-Liverpool youngster Fabio Carvalho is set to miss the remainder of the season. Enjoying what has become a breakout campaign in west London and already registering 11 Premier League strikes, striking talisman Igor Thiago will play a leading role. Bagging both goals during Brentford's 2-0 victory away at Wolves last weekend, Keane Lewis-Potter will keep his spot alongside Thiago in attack."
Brentford aim to follow a 2-0 away win at Wolves and end a four-match winless run against Premier League opposition while pushing toward a top-half position. The side has earned 17 points from eight home league games at the Gtech, giving them the fifth-best home return in the division. Frank Onyeka and Dango Ouattara are unavailable due to AFCON commitments, and Fabio Carvalho will miss the remainder of the season after knee surgery. Igor Thiago has scored 11 Premier League goals and will spearhead the attack, with Keane Lewis-Potter retaining his place after scoring both goals at Wolves. Bournemouth opened 2025/26 with just one defeat in their first nine Premier League appearances.
