Fulham will take on Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, 20 September, in a West London derby at Craven Cottage.
The hosts picked up their first win of the season last weekend, courtesy of last last-minute winner against Leeds, but their performances have warranted more than that.
Brentford, meanwhile, have fared better than expected under Keith Andrews so far, but their best performances have come at home.

Most recent H2Hs: Advantage Fulham
Fulham have the better record in recent clashes between the two teams, and the Cottagers are now unbeaten in their last three matches against the Bees. It isn't all doom and gloom for Brentford, though, as they record a 3-0 win at Craven Cottage just over two years ago.

Brentford preview: Changes are expected
Brentford beat Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup in midweek, and they did so without some of their best players. Jordan Henderson, Igor Thiago and Ethan Pinnock were all rested for that match, but the trio should return here. Mikkel Damsgaard has recovered from illness and is also expected to return to the starting XI.
Predicted lineup: Kelleher (GK), Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter, Henderson, Jensen, Damsgaard, Ouattara, Thiago, Schade
Last five results
- Brentford 1-1 Aston Villa
- Brentford 2-2 Chelsea
- Sunderland 2-1 Brentford
- Bournemouth 0-2 Brentford
- Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa
Player to watch: Kevin Schade
Kevin Schade is the man being tasked with replacing the goals scored by Bryan Mbeumo last season, and so far this season, the German has been excellent. Schade netted last weekend in the draw with Chelsea and will fancy his chances of doing the same again here.
