Brentford picked up a point against Spurs following the goalless draw at the Brentford Community Stadium last weekend. The Bees are in 12th place, having 40 points from 11W, 7D, and 16L. Brentford are winless in their last six meetings with Manchester United across all competitions [0W, 1D, & 5L] since a 2-0 FA Cup win which dates back to February 1938. Unbeaten in four games [LWWWD] ahead of this fixture against the Red Devils, Brentford are also unbeaten in their last 12 league games played on a Monday [5W, 7D, & 0L]. Thomas Frank's 5—3—2 could see Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo in attack once again.

Brentford are winless in their last six meetings with Manchester United across all competitions [0W, 1D, & 5L] since a 2-0 FA Cup win which dates back to February 1938. Unbeaten in four games [LWWWD] ahead of this fixture against the Red Devils, Brentford are also unbeaten in their last 12 league games played on a Monday [5W, 7D, & 0L]. Thomas Frank's 5—3—2 could see Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo in attack once again.
After a narrow win over the Hornets, the Bees will take on Spurs in another London derby, looking to dent their hopes for a top-four finish. The Premier League clash between Brentford FC and Tottenham Hotspur kicks off at 17:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 23, at the Brentford Community Stadium.
The Bees picked up three victories in a row, WLWWW, following the 2-1 win over Watford last weekend at Vicarage Road. Christian Nørgaard (15’) had put Brentford in the lead before Emmanuel Dennis (55’) found the leveler for the Hornets. However, a last-gasp effort from Pontus Jansson (90’+5) saw Brentford pick up maximum points. The win saw the Bees remain in 12th place, with 39 points after 11W, 6D, and 16L, looking to pick up four wins in a row when they host Tottenham for the first time in more than two decades, dating as far back as September 2000. Only Chelsea have picked up more points in the London derbies in this edition of the Premier League than Brentford (14), and a victory here would add a few more points to Bees’ tally against London sides. Thomas Frank lined up the 4—3—3 against the Hornets and is expected to do so again against Spurs on Saturday, looking to dent their hopes of finishing fourth, ahead of Arsenal and Manchester United. Brentford have no major injury worries ahead of this weekend’s clash.
After another embarrassing defeat, this time to the Peacocks, the Hornets are back to take on the Bees for a chance to rekindle their hopes in the race for Premier League survival. Watford FC vs. Brentford FC kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 16, at Vicarage Road.
Brentford asserted their intention to remain in the Premier League this season with a 2-0 win over West Ham United at the Brentford Community Stadium. The victory saw the Bees move up by a spot, from 14th to 13th place on the Premier League table, having picked up 36 points from 10W, 6D, and 16L. With back-to-back victories, WWLWW, Brentford are looking to complete their first league double over Watford since 1976-77 in the fourth tier. However, the Bees are without a win in their last seven league visits to Vicarage Road [0W, 2D, & 5L]. A mid-table finish would be a remarkable achievement for Thomas Frank at the end of the season. After the famous success against Chelsea [4-1], the 48-year-old switched from a front-two to an attacking trio against West Ham. Having been rewarded with three points once again, Thomas Frank is expected to stick with the 4—3—3, having Ivan Toney, Bryan Mbeumo, and Yoane Wissa all in from the get-go for Saturday’s game against Watford. Meanwhile, Frank Onyeka and Josh Dasilva are both ruled out for the weekend.
After sweeping the Blues aside last weekend, the Bees are looking to complete a league double over the Hammers for the first time in 68 years. The London derby, Brentford FC vs. West Ham United, kicks off at 14:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 10, at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Brentford had Chelsea well beaten last weekend at the Brentford Community Stadium following a 4-1 win over the Blues. Rudiger (48') had put Chelsea in the lead minutes into the second half, before an avalanche of goals formed by a brace from Janelt (50' & 60'), coupled with efforts from Christian Eriksen (54') and Yoane Wissa (87') sealed a Brentford victory. Following the win, Brentford now have three Premier League victories in five games, LWWLW, having moved a spot ahead, from 15th to 14th place on the table. With 33 points from 9W, 6D, & 16L, the Bees are looking to complete a league double over the Hammers for the first time since 1953/54. Furthermore, Brentford are looking to become the first side to win 10 matches in their first Premier League season following a promotion since Bournemouth last did so in the 2005/06 season [11 wins]. Thomas Frank could line up a defensive 5—3—2 formation with Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo in attack, as he did against the Blues. Meanwhile, Brentford will be without Josh Dasilva and Julian Jeanvier for Sunday's London derby.
The Blues make their way back for this clash against the Bees, looking to re-establish their title challenge despite the uncertainty surrounding the club. The Premier League fixture, Chelsea FC vs. Brentford FC, kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 2, at Stamford Bridge.
Brentford remains in 15th place on the Premier League table, having picked up 30 points from 8W, 6D, and 16L. The Bees are looking to return to winning ways, LLWWL, following a 2-1 loss to Leicester City last time out. This is Brentford’s first visit to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge since they were thrashed 4-0 in the 2016-17 FA Cup fourth round. It also doubles as the Bees’ first away league game against the Blues since November 1946, when they picked up a 3-2 defeat. Thomas Frank could come up with a defensive-minded 4—5—1 having Ivan Toney at the top of the shape. Josh Dasilva rejoins the squad following a ban, but Julian Jeanvier and Saman Ghoddos (COVID-19) are both doubtful for Saturday’s clash against the Blues.
The Premier League fixture, Leicester City vs. Brentford F.C. kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, March 20, at the King Power Stadium.
Brentford picked up back-to-back victories, DLLWW, last weekend following the 2-0 win over Burnley, courtesy of a brace from Ivan Toney (85’ & 90’+4). The club remains in 15th place on the Premier League table, having picked up 30 points from 8W, 6D, & 15L. The Bees have an impressive record of only one defeat in ten Premier League episodes [4W, 5D, & 1L] on the road against the Foxes, and are looking to keep it at one at the end of Sunday’s fixture. Sitting eight points above the bottom three, a Brentford victory could put daylight between the Bees and the troubled-trio consisting of Watford, Burnley and Norwich City. Thomas Frank appeared with the 4—5—1 formation against the Clarets last weekend and could be doing so again for this clash against the Foxes.
After a comfortable win over the Canaries, the Bees take on the Clarets in this bottom-table clash as they look to put some points between themselves and the troubled-trio at the table’s end. The Premier League fixture, Brentford F.C. vs. Burnley F.C., kicks off at 16:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, March 12, at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Brentford picked up an Ivan Toney-inspired 3-1 win over Norwich City last weekend at Carrow Road. A hat-trick from the 25-year-old Ivan Toney (32’, 52’ P, & 58’ P), with a brace coming from the penalty spot, saw the Bees return to winning ways after four games without a victory: LDLLW. Brentford sits in 15th place with 27 points from 7W, 6D, & 15L. The win over the Canaries ended a run of eight Premier League games without a victory, as Brentford now look to complete back-to-back wins for the first time in the Premier League. Thomas Frank would like to Brentford replicate last weekend’s performance despite knowing the Clarets have been a thorn in his side’s flesh in recent times. Having adopted a defensive-minded 4—5—1 formation last time out, which saw Brentford bag all three points on EPL MD28, Thomas Frank is expected to stick to the same shape and personnel, with the three-goal-hero Ivan Toney in attack. Christian Eriksen got the nod for the start against Norwich, for the very first time since experiencing a cardiac arrest, and could be deployed from the get-go for Saturday’s clash against Burnley. On availability, Joshua Dasilva is suspended, while Christian Nørgaard remains in doubt for the weekend’s fixture.
The Premier League fixture, Norwich City vs. Brentford F.C., kicks off at 16:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, March 5, at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Meanwhile, Christian Eriksen’s return to football - 259 days after he suffered a cardiac arrest - was overshadowed by Brentford’s 2-0 home defeat to the Magpies last weekend. Brentford were reduced to 10 men in the opening minutes of the clash after Josh Dasilva [R. 11’] was sent off for a horrific challenge on Newcastle’s Matt Targett. A fine header from Joelinton (33') coupled with a remarkable 16-yard strike from Joe Willock (44') separated both sides at full-time at the Brentford Community Stadium. In 15th place, having 24 points from 6W, 6D, & 15L, coupled with no victories in five games and back-to-back defeats, LLDLL, Brentford are in desperate need of a victory to stop the uncontrolled descent down the Premier League table. The Bees sit only three points above the bottom-three and have seven points between them and the Yellows. With recent poor results on the turf, Thomas Frank ditched the familiar 3—5—2 formation for an attacking 4—3—3 in the game against the Magpies. However, he is expected to revert to the former with Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo in attack. Meanwhile, Josh Dasilva, who picked up the red against Newcastle United, is suspended for this fixture.
After last weekend’s defeat to the Gunners, the Bees are back against the Magpies in a bid to put daylight between themselves and the bottom-three. The Premier League fixture, Brentford F.C. vs. Newcastle United, kicks off at 16:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, February 26, at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Brentford picked up a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal last weekend at the Emirates Stadium. Emile Smith Rowe (48’) slipped through the middle of two shirts before firing a remarkable low-curling effort past Brentford’s David Raya in goal, leaving the Bees with a goal deficit three minutes after the break. Minutes later, a left-footed strike from Bukayo Saka (79’) left the Bees with a two-goal deficit with just over ten minutes left on the clock. Christian Nørgaard’s strike inside stoppage time (90’+3) was only good enough as a consolation goal. The defeat leaves Brentford with only a point, LLLDL, from their last five Premier League matches and in 14th place, having failed to pick up a point last weekend. The Bees have a total of 24 points from 6W, 6D, & 14L, and only four points keep them above the bottom-three. A win for the club could see Brentford put some distance between themselves and the troubled trio at the bottom of the table. Ivan Toney failed to feature against Arsenal due to a calf injury but is expected to return to the starting line-up for this game against Newcastle United at the expense of Yoane Wissa in Thomas Frank’s 3—5—2 formation. Toney could be playing in attack alongside Mbeumo once again. The 25-year-old hit the back of the net in the reverse fixture against his former club, Newcastle United, and is looking to complete a double over the Magpies at the weekend.
Having failed to take part in last weekend’s Premier League action, the Gunners are back against the Bees, hoping to pick up three points as they continue in pursuit of an ambitious top-four finish. Arsenal F.C. vs. Brentford F.C., kicks off at 16:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, February 19, at the Emirates Stadium. Lee Mason will be the VAR, while Jonathan Moss will take up the responsibilities of the first official.
Meanwhile, the Bees earned a point in the barren draw against Palace at home last weekend. Brentford remains in 14th place with 24 points from 6W, 6D, & 13L, and are without a win in five games: LLLLD. Thomas Frank would like to see his side pick up a victory over Arsenal on Saturday and become the first promoted side to complete a Premier League double over the Gunners since Blackburn Rovers did so in the 1992/93 edition of English top-flight football. Ivan Toney (calf injury) remains doubtful and may be replaced by Yoane Wissa in Thomas Frank’s 3—5—2 formation. Wissa is expected in attack alongside Mbeumo for this fixture against Arsenal.
