Brentford vs Swansea City Prediction
Brentford have lost two key attackers in the form of Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma to Aston Villa and West Ham United respectively. However, striker Ivan Toney has settled in well after arriving from League One side Peterborough United, and he is scoring at a consistent rate.
Swansea City, on the other hand, lie second in the league table after a good start. Despite losing centre-back Joe Rodon to Tottenham Hotspur, Steve Cooper's side have looked impressive, and will aim to establish their promotion credentials against a good Brentford side.
The Bees seem to be improving consistently, but the Swans' form should ensure that they edge past Brentford on Tuesday.
Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Swansea City
