The West London derby is back! Fulham make the short trip to the Gtech Community Stadium today, looking to extend their recent dominance over rivals Brentford and reclaim local bragging rights.

Marco Silva's Cottagers have transformed into a tactically flexible and formidable Premier League side. With just 11 points needed from their final six games to set a new club-record points total, the motivation is sky-high. Adding to the confidence is a perfect record in their last three league meetings against the Bees; a fourth straight win would send a powerful message.

Fulham's attack has been firing on all cylinders lately, averaging a staggering 20.5 shots over their last two outings—a figure only surpassed by Manchester City. However, converting those chances, especially early on, has been a sticking point. Silva will be demanding more clinical finishing in the final third to turn their territorial dominance into a crucial three points.

Team news brings a mix of stability and a welcome return. The defensive unit that faced Liverpool is expected to remain intact, with Kenny Tete and Kevin Mbabu still sidelined. The boost comes in midfield, where Harrison Reed is back in contention after recovering from a fitness issue.

All eyes will be on in-form winger Harry Wilson, who is enjoying the best season of his career with 10 goals and 6 assists in the league. His threat from distance is a key weapon, part of a Fulham side that has scored nine goals from outside the box this campaign.

Leading the line will be Raúl Jiménez, fresh off an impressive substitute appearance, supported by a creative trio. Between the posts, Bernd Leno will be crucial as Fulham aim to shore up their defense against top-half opposition. With Silva's impressive personal record against Brentford, the stage is set for a thrilling derby clash.

Fulham Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Iwobi; Wilson, King, Bobb; Jimenez
