Brentford
Brentford recently faced a 1-2 defeat against Manchester United, despite initially leading the match. This loss marks their third defeat in the last five Premier League games, with only one win and one draw, leaving Thomas Frank’s side in 13th place. Fortunately, they maintain a seven-point cushion above the relegation zone.
Despite their mid-table standing, Brentford’s performances have been lackluster. All three of their wins this season have come against teams currently in the relegation zone, and these victories were achieved at home, where they’ve managed to keep a safe distance from the bottom dwellers.
