Fulham host Brentford as Premier League returns after World Cup break
The two London rivals face off in a crucial relegation six-pointer on Monday
After a six-week break for the World Cup, the Premier League is back in action on Monday with a crucial relegation clash between Fulham and Brentford. The two London rivals are separated by just three points in the table, with Fulham in 19th place and Brentford in 16th.
Fulham come into the match in poor form, having lost their last three games in all competitions. They were beaten 2-1 at home by Leeds in their last Premier League match, and they were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Crawley Town.
Brentford, on the other hand, are in slightly better form. They have won two of their last three games in all competitions, including a 2-0 win over West Ham in their last Premier League match.
The match is likely to be close, with both teams desperate for points. Fulham will be looking to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat, while Brentford will be looking to move further away from the relegation zone.
