Brentford midfielder Jonathan Douglas will return from suspension for tonight’s game with rivals Fulham.
The Ireland international was suspended after accumulating 5 yellow cards.
Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli is a doubt due to a thumb injury so Gabor Kiraly may be set to make his first Championship start since September.
This will be the first meeting between the two sides since The Cottagers beat Brentford at Griffin Park in 1998.
The two sides have already met once this season in The Capital One Cup, with Fulham beating The Bees 1-0 on 26th August.
The Bees haven’t been victorious against their West-London rivals in five attempts, with their last win coming in 1992.
Brentford have won their last three league games, scoring eight goals in the process, with 23-year-old striker Andre Gray bagging four.
The home side haven’t lost a game at Griffin Park since Norwich beat them 3-0 on the 16th September.
After a poor start to the season, Fulham have hit a rich vein of form, going unbeaten in their last six Championship games.
Although, they haven’t won a game away from home since the 27th September where they beat Birmingham 2-1.
ONES TO WATCH:
Brentford - Andre Gray: The pacey striker has been a revelation during the last few weeks for Brentford. Having signed for £500,000 from Luton Town, Gray has scored 6 leagues goals in sixteen appearances, 4 of those 6 goals have come in the last 3 weeks.
Fulham - Bryan Ruiz: The left-footed creative midfielder has scored 3 goals in the last 3 games. He has been Fulham’s stand-out player during the first half of the season.
The game is sold-out and fans are urged not to travel to Griffin Park in hope of looking the game.
