The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Brentford take on Marco Silva's Fulham side in an intriguing clash at Craven Cottage on Saturday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and have a point to prove going into this game.
Fulham vs Brentford Preview
Fulham are currently in 11th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Cottagers edged Leeds United to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Brentford, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table at the moment and have also failed to meet expectations this season. The away side defeated Aston Villa on penalties in the FA Cup this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
