Brentford v Fulham preview

It will be a tale of two new managers when Fulham take on Arch Rivals Brentford at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

Dean Smith, formerly of Walsall, will experience his first away game as Bees manager tomorrow, while Stuart Gray will be in the Fulham dugout for the first time as senior coach following his appointment earlier this week. Both west London sides started the season very sluggishly, but Brentford certainly seem to have the upper hand ahead of tomorrow’s match.

They were on the right side of a 2-0 scoreline when they faced MK Dons last weekend, while Fulham were thrashed 3-0 at the City Ground following an embarrassing performance against Nottingham Forest.

The whites sit in 16th place and have been extremely disappointing recently, not wining since October, and have conceded 13 goals in their last 5 matches. The last affair between the two sides was back in April, and resulted in Brentford going back to Griffin Park with all three points following a historic 1-4 away victory.

A match of this calibre is one of great importance to boost the morale of the both squads, and can also kick start either side’s season as they can begin to mount their perhaps unrealistic chase for promotion.

The match is a complete sell out and is one that both sets of historically supporters look forward to when the fixtures are released in mid June.
