Brentford will be bidding to make it five Premier League wins on the bounce when they face London rivals Fulham at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Thomas Frank’s team are storming towards the Premier League's finish line, with last week’s 1-0 success at Ipswich their fourth win in succession.
That victory lifted the Bees up into eighth place in the top-flight standings with just two rounds of fixtures remaining.
Seeking to rubber-stamp a top-half finish, Brentford will look to bank another three points when capital neighbours Fulham come calling.
While Marco Silva's men have performed well this season, recent showings would suggest that their campaign has started to fizzle out.
The Cottagers have come away empty-handed from three of their last four Premier League matches, with last week’s 3-1 loss to Everton bringing up two of my three selections.
How the bookies view it: Bees to keep on buzzing
Brentford come into this all-London affair as 20/21 favourites on Boylesports and that price looks more than fair given the two teams’ contrasting form.
Fulham are unfancied 11/4 outsiders on Boylesports, while the draw is also deemed unlikely at 14/5 with the same firm.
Head to head: Bees bidding to bounce back
Brentford saw their three-game unbeaten run against Fulham come to an end in this season’s reverse fixture when going down 2-1 across town.
Last season’s corresponding fixture ended goalless but a repeat here is considered improbable at 14/1 with Boylesports.
Players to watch: Wissa to sting Fulham?
With 18 goals and four assists to his name across his 33 Premier League appearances this season, Yoane Wissa stands out to register another goal involvement here at even-money (1/1) on PaddyPower.
Raul Jimenez scored the opening goal of the game against Everton last weekend and the Fulham forward is as big as 13/2 (Boylesports) to repeat the trick at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday.
Predicted line-ups
Brentford will once again be unable to call upon the services of injured quartet Aaron Hickey, Fabio Carvalho, Josh Dasilva and Vitaly Janelt.
Injuries are starting to pile up for Fulham as the campaign draws to a close, with the visitors set to be without as many six players for Sunday’s capital clash.
Brentford: Flekken; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Yarmolyuk; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa
Fulham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Pereira, Berge; Traore, Smith Rowe, Willian; Jimenez
Anything else catch the eye?
Like the aforementioned Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo has also been in brilliant form for Brentford this season.
The Bees forward has struck 18 times across his 36 appearances in the top-flight this term, a tally bettered by only four other players in the division.
That return is made all the more impressive by the fact that Mbeumo has also chipped in with eight assists in the Premier League this season.
Given that 10 of those 22 goal involvements have come at home, Mbeumo also merits support for a goal or an assist on Sunday at 10/11 with PaddyPower.
