Fulham, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have made an impressive start to their season. The Cottagers edged Everton to an important 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Fulham vs Brentford Prediction

Fulham have an excellent squad at their disposal but have been plagued by inconsistency over the past year. The likes of Willian and Raul Jimenez can be effective on their day and will need to step up this weekend.

Brentford can pack a punch on their day and will need to go the extra mile in the final third in Ivan Toney's absence. Both teams are evenly matched on paper and could play out a draw in this game.
