"Suffering second-half frustration at the Amex last weekend as they marked their return from November's fortnight interval with a 2-1 defeat away at Brighton, Brentford will certainly be excited to make a return to home soil here. Heading into November's international break with a stellar 3-1 victory against Champions League outfit Newcastle, Keith Andrews' side have continued to receive plenty of praise from across England's elite."
"Getting Saturday's fixtures underway sat within touching distance of finding a route into the top-half of the Premier League standings, Brentford have won four of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Pencilled in as a standout contender here, Saturday's hosts have gained a real reputation for their extended dominance in west London. Including a rollercoaster 3-2 win against reigning Premier League champions Liverpool on October 25th, Brentford have won four of their last five showdowns at the Gtech against top-flight opposition."
Brentford host Burnley in west London on Saturday with an opportunity to move into the Premier League's top half. Brentford lost 2-1 at Brighton after the international break but had beaten Newcastle 3-1 before the break. Brentford have won four of their previous six matches across all competitions and four of their last five home games against top-flight opposition, including a 3-2 victory over Liverpool. Burnley have returned to the Premier League this season but sit in the relegation zone and are widely regarded as bottom-three contenders. Igor Thiago faced a public injury nightmare after a £30m move from Club Brugge, creating questions over his role.
