"Starting with the hosts, marking their return from November's international break with a collapse away at Brighton as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss on the south coast, Brentford will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, despite opening up the 2025/26 campaign widely regarded as a standout relegation candidate, Keith Andrews' men have rightfully received plenty of plaudits from across England's elite."
"Suffering a long-term knee injury over the international break, Brentford have confirmed that former Liverpool youngster Fabio Carvalho is set to miss the remainder of the season. Likewise, yet to make a single appearance so far this season, Josh Dasilva remains on the sidelines with his own significant knee issue. Bagging what turned out to be a consolation strike away at Brighton last weekend and recording a ninth Premier League goal of the season, the red-hot Igor Thiago will lead the line here."
Brentford return home after a 2-1 defeat at Brighton and will seek an immediate response against Burnley. The team opened the 2025/26 campaign amid relegation concerns but have earned plaudits and remain competitive near the top half. Brentford have won four of their previous five home fixtures across competitions and have suffered only two home Premier League defeats since March. Fabio Carvalho is out for the season with a long-term knee injury and Josh Dasilva is also sidelined with a significant knee issue. Igor Thiago scored at Brighton and has nine Premier League goals, leading the attack alongside Jordan Henderson in midfield.
