Fulham v Brentford

• 1945 GMT kick-off on Sky Sports Football

A huge match at this point in the season. Fulham welcome local rivals Brentford to Craven Cottage with both sides chasing promotion to the Premier League.

The hosts currently provide the main threat to Leeds and West Brom in the top-two but a win for Brentford, and victories for those currently occupying the automatic promotion spots over the weekend, will likely bring an end to the race for those places in the table.

It becomes about game-swings at this point as opposed to points. Defeat could leave Fulham needing to find four more wins than Leeds and West Brom with just eight games remaining. That is just too much to do at this point in the campaign.

For Brentford, they're battling for that third spot and 'top seed' in the play-offs. Prior to that though, they're looking to ensure that they secure their place given the fact only five points separates them and Bristol City in seventh. Defeat here could see the chasing pack all close in.

There were concerns about Brentford's form given the fact they were enduring a five-game winless run but the 5-0 hammering of Sheffield Wednesday last time out indicates that they are back to their previous best.

Fulham boast the best home record in the division with 38 points gained from 19 fixtures. The five defeats in front of their own supporters though show that they are beatable at Craven Cottage and there is some value in backing the visitors.

The recent home wins for Scott Parker's side have come against teams they should be beating. Preston and Swansea are striving for consistency while Huddersfield and Middlesbrough are struggling at the other end of the table.
