Match preview

Brentford's unbeaten start to the season has been no fluke and there is every chance it will be extended with a victory over Brighton this weekend.

Thomas Frank's side have conceded just one goal and are looking threatening up front thanks to the pace, quality and movement of their front two Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo.

The Bees were a possession-based side last season but they are mixing up their game more in the Premier League and it is working for them.

They were worthy 2-0 winners at home to Arsenal and had the most shots in draws at Crystal Palace (0-0) and Aston Villa (1-1).

While Brentford have shown they can be adaptable, Brighton are perhaps a little too wedded to their short-passing style.

The Seagulls were picked off in a 2-0 loss at home to Everton last time out and may suffer a similar fate against the Bees.
