Fulham completed a Premier League double over Brentford last season and are looking to win three league games in a row over the Bees for the second time, after winning their first three clashes from 1928 to 1929.
Brentford have lost two of their three Premier League visits to Craven Cottage (W1), more than their previous 15 league trips to Fulham beforehand (W6 D8 L1), while they could lose twice in a row at Fulham in the league for the first time since January 1954 (4 in a row).
Fulham have lost five of their last seven London derby games in the Premier League (W2), having been unbeaten in their previous 10 beforehand.
Brentford are winless in their last three away Premier League games (D1 L2), losing both of the last two, having won seven of their nine league games on the road beforehand (D1 L1).
Fulham are one of just two sides (along with Arsenal) yet to concede from open play in the Premier League this season, with their goals against coming from either corners (2) or penalties (2) so far. Meanwhile, two of the Cottagers’ three goals scored this term have come from set pieces.
Only Burnley (30) have had fewer shots than Brentford (33) in the Premier League this season, with the Bees’ average of 8.3 shots per game their lowest in any of their five campaigns in the competition.
Brentford have played fewer line breaking passes than any other side in the Premier League this season (132), with just five of these breaking the opposition’s defensive line (also a league-low).
No attacking player (strikers, attacking midfielders, wingers) has made more progressive carries in the Premier League this season than Fulham’s Alex Iwobi (37).
Brentford’s Igor Thiago has applied more pressures in the opposition half than any other player in the Premier League this season (225).
Brentford midfielder Jordan Henderson is set to appear in the 500th league game of his career across spells with Sunderland (71), Coventry (10), Liverpool (360), Al-Ettifaq (17), Ajax (37) and now the Bees (4 so far). This game comes 16 years and 323 days after his league debut for Sunderland v Chelsea in November 2008, which fell on the same day that now-manager Keith Andrews was making his eighth Premier League appearance for Blackburn against West Brom.
