Brentford preview: Mbeumo leading by example

Brentford took the lead inside the opening minute for the third league game on the run on Saturday against West Ham.

However, that game ended in a 1-1 draw despite Bryan Mbeumo's early goal, his fifth in the Premier League this season.

Saturday's hosts could be without the services of Igor Thiago, Joshua Dasilva, Yoane Wissa, Rico Henry, Gustavo Nunes, Christian Norgaard, Mathias Jensen and Aaron Hickey this weekend due to injury.

Wolves preview: Conceding too many goals

Wolves went down 2-1 in their own backyard against Liverpool in Saturday's late kick-off in the Premier League.

Gary O'Neil's side have now lost each of their last four matches in league and cup and are still to win a Premier League game this season.

Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar, Bastien Menadjou, Craig Dawson, Enso Medina, Santiago Bueno and Sasa Kalajdzic could all miss the trip to Brentford on Saturday through injury.

Predicted lineup: Johnstone (GK), Semedo, Bueno, Ait-Nouri, Toti, Lemina, Forbs, J. Gomes, Andre, Strand Larsen & Cunha

Player to watch: Bryan Mbeumo

Bryan Mbeumo is enjoying his fourth season in the Premier League where it looks like he will score into double figures for the first time.

The Cameroon international scored 16 times in the 2019/20 Championship season for Brentford but has never scored more than nine goals in a single Premier League campaign. However, with five goals in his opening six league games this season, Mbeumo looks like he will go on to score 10+ goals for the Bees this time around.

Mbeumo has made a flying start to the campaign

We've backed Mbeumo to continue his fine scoring run against a struggling Wolves side this weekend but surely Brentford won't score in the very first minute for a fourth league game on the run?
