Overview
Fulham have been disappointing recently, failing to win three consecutive games. Coach Marco Silva's team lost to Man City, Aston Villa and drew with Everton.
With 12 points, the London representative is currently ranked 12th on the rankings before round 10. Returning to home ground Craven Cottage, Fulham hopes to get a good result against Brentford to improve the situation.
With 4 goals in his last 6 Premier League appearances, Raul Jimenez is reviving Fulham's attack. The Mexican striker is expected to help Fulham improve their form.
Brentford, on the other hand, have been much better than their opponents. The Bees have won three of their last four games in all competitions, beating Wolves 5-3 and Ipswich 4-3 in the Premier League and Sheffield Wednesday on penalties in the Carabao Cup.
Despite the departure of key striker Ivan Toney, coach Thomas Frank's team has not been affected much. As of round 10 of the Premier League, they are the third highest scoring club in the tournament with 18 goals, behind only Manchester City and Chelsea.
If they can improve their current weak defense, Brentford can definitely think about better positions on the rankings.
In terms of head-to-head record, Brentford is better than Fulham with 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 matches. Therefore, "The Bees" will be determined to aim for 3 points in the next match to continue their winning streak.
Human resources situation
Fulham will continue to be without injured duo Sasa Lukic and Timothy Castagne. However, Joachim Andersen is expected to return to the squad after serving a one-match suspension.
On the other side of the front line, Aaron Hickey, Gustavo Nunes, Igor Thiago, Josh Dasilva and Rico Henry are still unable to play for Brentford.
Expected lineup:
Fulham: Leno, Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Pereira, Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi, Jimenez.
Brentford: Flekken, Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Van den Berg, Damsgaard, Norgaard, Janelt, Lewis-Potter, Wissa, Mbeumo.
The match between Fulham and Brentford takes place at 3:00 a.m. on November 5 (Vietnam time).
