Fulham vs Brentford
Premier League
Fulham host Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, as the two London clubs look to maintain their impressive starts to the season. Both sides have won two of their opening three league games, with the Cottagers sitting sixth in the table and the Bees just one point behind in eighth.
Fulham have been in fine form in recent weeks, having won their last three games in all competitions without conceding a goal. Marco Silva's side will be confident of extending that run against a Brentford team that has also been in good form, but they will need to be wary of the threat posed by the Bees' attack, which has scored seven goals in their last three games.
The match is set to be a close and entertaining affair, with both sides likely to go toe-to-toe in search of all three points.
Team News
Fulham will be without the suspended Antonee Robinson, while Brentford will be without the injured Kristoffer Ajer and long-term absentee Sergi Canos.
