Their only defeat during that run came against Manchester City, and they will be confident of getting a result against Brentford.
Brentford, meanwhile, have also been in good form, losing just once in their last five matches. The Bees twice fought back from a goal down to draw 2-2 against Wolves on Boxing Day, which was their toughest fixture over the festive period, prior to that they beat Liverpool 3-1 at home.
