Brentford has hit some poor runs of form in recent games, with the Bees currently riding on a three-match winless streak in the Premier League. Thomas Frank's side has managed to steal points against Chelsea and Arsenal in their last two consecutive games.

Currently, Thomas Frank's side sits 11th in the Premier League with 43 points from 32 games, five points behind the mid-table. Kaoru Mitoma is a doubt for the weekend's clash.
Thomas Frank's men have struggled badly in their recent home games, with the Bees now winless in the last eight Premier League games. They have only managed to pick up three points from a possible 24 home points, with their last home league win coming back in early December last year against Newcastle.

The Seagulls extended their winless streak to four consecutive matches by surrendering their lead twice against struggling Leicester City at the Amex Stadium to share a 2-2 draw, with the result leading to the Albion fans booing their team at full-time.
