The Bees host the Seagulls in Wednesday’s Premier League avian battle, as Brentford welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Gtech Community Stadium.
Thomas Frank‘s men salvaged a point off of Manchester United in a chaotic injury-time period on Saturday, before Roberto De Zerbi‘s side fell to a 2-1 loss to new leaders Liverpool.
Despite having a ludicrous 85 touches in the Manchester United penalty area during Saturday’s match – the third-most on record in a Premier League fixture – Brentford were their own worst enemies in front of goal.
Both Brentford and Brighton did themselves proud against two titans of the English game over the Easter weekend, although Welbeck’s opener is the only away goal that the Seagulls have managed in their last four road contests.
However, faced with a Bees side – albeit an improving one – that cannot bolt the back door shut at their Gtech base, a solitary strike may be enough for De Zerbi’s troops to depart with a point as the hosts’ winless run continues.
