Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion pre-match: where are the two teams?
Brentford
Brentford are one of seven undefeated Premier League clubs so far this season, claiming one win and two draws in their first three games, including a 1-1 at Aston Villa just before the national team break.
Ivan Toney’s first ever goal in the seventh minute was canceled just six minutes later by Emiliano Buendia, with both teams eventually forced to split the tally.
The Bees could become the first Premier League club after Portsmouth in 2003-04 to remain unbeaten in their first four games if they win at least one point on Saturday. However, head coach Thomas Frank believes they will face their ‘toughest opponent’ when they welcome Brighton to Brentford Community Stadium.
Brentford have only won three of their last 11 games against the Seagulls, with their most recent away win at Amex Stadium in September 2016.
Frank’s team has impressed many in recent years and is currently experiencing the longest unbeaten streak of any team in England’s top four divisions.
Winning seven and drawing eight of the last 15 games.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Having scored six points in their first three games, Brighton are in a great mood and are looking to build on their strong start to the new season.
Despite a 2-0 defeat to Everton last month, league cup wins against Burnley and Watford and Cardiff City made Graham Potter smile.
