Fulham vs Brentford

Fulham have won three league matches in a row against Brentford for only the second time in their history and for the first time since October 1929, when the Cottagers won each of their first three matches against the Bees.

Brentford have picked up just four points this season (W1 D1 L3), their lowest ever tally after five Premier League matches to start a season. They have also conceded 10 goals, their most at this stage of a campaign.

Alex Iwobi has been involved in six goals in his last seven Premier League home matches (3 goals, 3 assists), more than he managed in his previous 24 at Craven Cottage (5).

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.
