Brentford have won only one of their last eight meetings with Brighton, albeit the Seagulls have won only three of their last 13 clashes in West London.

These two sides both find themselves just below the European positions, meaning both are in need of a win come Saturday. Of the pair, Brighton & Hove Albion's European aspirations are significantly more realistic, considering they kick off five points above their hosts. However, the Seagulls' top eight hopes suffering a real set back last weekend, only able to draw 2-2 with struggling Leicester at home, despite leading twice through João Pedro's double. Fabian Hürzeler's team are now without a win in four, thereby dropping out of the European spots, and with games against Newcastle, Liverpool and Tottenham to come, they may feel that this is must win.

Brentford meantime need to start putting together a succession of victories if they're to keep their slim European aspirations alive. A week ago, Yoane Wissa's spectacular equaliser helped the Bees hold Arsenal to a 1-1 draw, but this means the Bees have only won one of their last six. At home, Thomas Frank's team are without a win in eight, so can they end this barren streak?
