The visiting team currently sits in 11th position, with 46 points from 13 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew away against Arsenal (1-1), followed by a home victory over Brighton & Hove Albion (4-2) in their last match.

Brentford enters this match with optimism after a strong 4-2 victory. Goals from Bryan Mbeumo (2), Yoane Wissa, and Christian Nørgaard ensured the win against Brighton, making it three consecutive matches without a loss in the Premier League. Like their opponents, Brentford, managed by Thomas Frank, is expected to adopt a 4-3-3 tactical setup, featuring an attacking trio of Yoane Wissa, Kevin Schade, and Bryan Mbeumo.
