Thoma Frank, Brentford coach, acknowledged that they are on a good run and want to extend it and this is a product of going game by game trying to add up:

"It's remarkable the season we are having at the moment. It's funny how quickly the narrative changes in soccer; two wins or two losses and you're either in a relegation battle or looking at the top ten. One of our strengths this season is that we have been focused on the next game. I said today before training that it's very important that we focus on the next game, which is today, and the next game, which is tomorrow. We are focusing on finishing as high as possible," he told a press conference on Friday.

The Bees made their appearance at the Vicarage Road Stadium with the mission of being able to get the win to continue to secure their stay in the Premier League.

Brentford, on the other hand, could climb to tenth place and move dangerously close to Leicester City with a win on Saturday and a combination of results.

The last time Watford salvaged a point was last February 26 when they drew 0-0 with Manchester United and, since then, they have lost five in a row, most recently 0-3 at home to Leeds.

Watford seeks to maintain the hope of salvation against an in-form Brentford that is coming off the back of several important results. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

What a recovery Denmark's Christian Eriksen has had, who was doubted due to his physical appearance, but has responded on the pitch with goals and assists, which have allowed him to return to his national team and he will be playing in one more World Cup.

Watford has struggled to score goals, but the most notable player this season has been striker Emmanuel Dennis, who has nine goals and will be looking to reach double digits this Saturday.

1 David Raya, 5 Ethan Pinnock, 22 Mathias Jorgensen, 3 Rico Henry, 20 Kristoffer Ajer, 6 Christian Norgaard, 21 Christian Eriksen, 27 Vitaly Janelt, 17 Ivan Toney, 11 Yoane Wissa, 19 Bryan Mbeumo.

1 Ben Foster, 22 Samir, 27 Christian Kabasele, 14 Hassane Kamara, 21 Kiko Femenia, 6 Imran Louza, 33 Juraj Kucka, 19 Moussa Sissoko, 10 Joao Pedro, 29 Cucho Hernandez, 23 Ismaïla Sarr.

From relegation problems to a calmer position after winning four of their last five games, including two teams at the top of the table, Chelsea and West Ham. With a win they would almost be assured of staying up for next year.

With only one win in their last five games, Watford is second to last in the Premier League with only 22 points and is in severe relegation trouble, so they need to win this game to still have any hope of relegation with a few games to go.

The Watford vs Brentford match will be played at the Vicarage Road Stadium, in Watford, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:00 am ET.
