Fulham v Brentford team news: Nelson in for Adama

Fulham

Fulham will be without Adama Traore for their Premier League clash with Brentford on Saturday.

The winger has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, and is expected to be sidelined for around two weeks.

Nelson has been in impressive form for Fulham this season, scoring three goals in his last four appearances.

Brentford

Brentford have no fresh injury concerns ahead of their trip to Craven Cottage.

The Bees will be looking to build on their impressive start to the season, having won four of their opening six games.

Brentford have a number of attacking options available, with Ivan Toney, Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo all in good form.

Predicted line-ups

Fulham: Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed; Pereira, Kebano, Nelson; Mitrovic Brentford: Raya; Hickey, Jansson, Mee, Henry; Jensen, Norgaard, Dasilva; Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa

Key battle

The key battle in this match is likely to be between Fulham's attack and Brentford's defence.

Fulham have scored 10 goals in their last four games, while Brentford have conceded just four in their last six.

If Fulham can get their attacking players firing, they will be confident of getting a result against Brentford.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but I think Fulham will just edge it.

The Cottagers have been in good form in recent weeks, and they will be confident of getting a result against a Brentford side that has struggled away from home this season.
