Brentford v Fulham | Saturday 4th May | 3pm | Gtech Community Stadium | #BREFUL
The opposition
- A tough run of results in February and March had led to the Bees nervously glancing over their shoulder, after they took just one point from six matches.
- But a solid unbeaten run in the subsequent games has secured their Premier League safety, as they followed up successive draws against Manchester United, Brighton and Aston Villa with vital wins against relegation rivals Sheffield United and Luton.
- Last time out, they travelled to Goodison Park, succumbing to a 1-0 defeat which meant that Everton joined Brentford in locking in their Premier League status for 2024/25.

Player insight
Calvin Bassey wants to use the 3-0 defeat by Brentford at Craven Cottage as motivation when the sides meet again on Saturday.
Speaking to FFCtv, the defender said: “I think we should use the 3-0 loss as fuel, but [since that fixture] we’ve improved so much as a collective and it should be – or it will be – a better game for us.”
