Statements

Fulham Analysis
Peter Rutzler, Fulham reporter for The Athletic has reported how Marco Silva's side will play.
“It's a possession 4-3-3. They like to build in wide areas with combinations, and out of possession it's more of a 4-4-2 block.
“They are always trying to play on the front foot, with a number 9 to link up play and bring everything together and a holding midfielder like João Palhinha, who likes to sweep in and tackle everything in sight.”
Last game
Bryan Mbeumo scored a brace in the first game of the season as Brentford took the West London derby 3-0 at Craven Cottage.
Injured
The same squad that traveled to Everton will be available for today's match. Rico Henry will not be considered, as he continues to recover from a knee problem that has kept him out since September.

Fulham fined
Fined Everton and Nottingham Forest, it has now fallen to Fulham to pay a £75K fee and a ban on signing academy players for the next six months.
This is due to non-payment by player Fabio Carvalho to Balham Blazers FC, the club where he trained before joining Fulham's academy.
Al Balham FC is not considered a 'transferor club' as defined by Premier League regulations, so the rules do not allow for any payments to Balham unless the Premier League agrees otherwise.

How does Fulham arrive?
Fulham came within minutes of beating Crystal Palace last Saturday. Rodrigo Muniz headed home his ninth goal of the season. The Eagles paid dearly for wasting several chances at Caren Cottage, but with just minutes left, Jeffrey Schlupp tapped home from the edge of the box to put the ball into Bernd Leno's net. The Eagles gave up the chance to overtake Brighton in the table, who, for the moment, occupy the twelfth position with 44 points.
How does Brentford arrive?
The Bees remain in the Premier League for another season despite a 1-0 loss to Everton last weekend. Even before the ball rolled at Goodison Park on Saturday night, the results were in Brentford's favor, indicating that Frank's side were assured of another season in the English top flight.
Despite the defeat, the Bees put in a decent performance against Everton, doing their best to break down the defensive unit and with Jordan Pickford taking the spotlight. Unfortunately for them, Idrissa Gueye scored the difference in favor of the home team.
