The starting lineup for each team is listed from their last match in this tournament.
Fulham
The Londoners have not won in three consecutive EPL fixtures. The team first lost to Manchester City (2:3) and Aston Villa (1:3), and then drew with Everton away (1:1). As a result, Fulham is positioned mid-table and is now 4 points behind the European competition zone. It's also worth noting that Marco Silva's charges have scored in 8 consecutive league matches.
Defender Timothy Castagne, midfielders Andreas Pereira and Sasa Lukic, as well as forward Carlos Vinicius Morais will miss the match due to injuries.
- Both teams have scored in 7 out of the last 8 Premier League encounters involving the Londoners.
- The club has opened the scoring in their last six championship matches.
- The number '1' has appeared in the final score in 8 out of the last 9 Fulham's EPL matches.
Brentford
Thomas Frank's side won their last round match at home against Ipswich (4:3). It was the second consecutive entertaining home game in the league – in the 7th round, the club beat Wolverhampton 5:3. Between these victories, Brentford also lost away to Manchester United (1:2). The Londoners have one more point than their city rivals from Fulham. It's also significant that the team has scored 18 goals, with only Chelsea and Manchester City having scored more in the Premier League.
In the club's infirmary are: defenders Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey, forwards Gustavo Nunes and Igor Tiago, as well as midfielder Joshua Da Silva.
- At least three goals have been scored in 9 out of the last 11 Brentford's league games.
- Both teams have scored in the last seven Premier League encounters involving the club.
- The Londoners have failed to score in the second half in four consecutive away league matches.
Fulham vs Brentford: match prediction
I suspect the upcoming London derby will be high-scoring. The rivals are close in the league table and aim to get closer to the European competition zone. To achieve this, they need to go forward and score. In the previous two seasons, the teams played 4 head-to-head matches in the Premier League and in three of those games, at least three goals were scored.
Brentford's games are among the most high-scoring in the EPL. On average, 4 goals are scored in the club's matches. In 9 out of the last 11 Brentford's away league matches, there have been more than two goals scored. Fulham's matches are slightly more modest in terms of scoring, yet more than two goals have been scored in 9 out of the last 12 home games for this club in the EPL.
