Brentford return to the comforts of the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to extend their formidable home record against a Burnley side sinking deeper into relegation trouble.
The Bees will be looking for an immediate response today. This follows a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend. Consequently, they sit in 13th place after back-to-back away losses.
However, they remain closer to the top four than the relegation zone. Meanwhile, they welcome a Burnley team that sits 19th in the table. The Clarets are reeling from three straight defeats to London clubs.

Team News
Brentford
Head coach Keith Andrews last week confirmed a devastating blow with the news that Fábio Carvalho has suffered a season-ending ACL injury. He joins midfielders Antoni Milambo and Josh Dasilva on the long-term absentee list. However, the rest of the squad is in good shape. Igor Thiago, who has nine league goals this season, is expected to retain his place up front. Rico Henry is pushing for a start at left-back, while Mikkel Damsgaard should continue in midfield.
Burnley
Scott Parker has received a boost with striker Armando Broja making a surprise return from an ankle injury off the bench last week. However, the defensive crisis continues, with Jordan Beyer, Zeki Amdouni, and Connor Roberts still sidelined. Veteran full-back Kyle Walker is one booking away from a ban but will start. In goal, Martin Dúbravka, who has made a league-high 49 saves this season, will retain his place.
Form
Brentford
Brentford’s season has been a tale of two venues. While they have struggled away, their form in West London has been imperious. The Bees have won four of their six home league matches this season. Furthermore, they have won their last 10 Premier League home games against promoted sides, scoring at least twice in all of them.
Burnley
Burnley’s return to the top flight has turned into a survival slog. The Clarets have slipped to 19th in the table. Their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea last weekend highlighted their attacking struggles; they generated an xG of just 0.44. Moreover, they have the lowest expected goals total in the league this season.
Predicted Lineups
Brentford predicted XI: Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Ajer; Henderson, Yarmoliuk; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Thiago
Burnley predicted XI: Dubravka; Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman; Cullen, Florentino; Tchaouna, Ugochukwu, Anthony; Flemming
