Brentford remain in the race for European qualification this season, but the Bees will need to bounce back to winning form following a loss against Man United on Monday.
That defeat means that Brentford have now failed to win in their last six. Meanwhile, they are winless in their last five at the Gtech Community Stadium. Their record in London derbies would also be a negative, as Brentford have won just two of their last ten. Interestingly, both wins were achieved against West Ham.
