Brentford will host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Gtech Community Stadium on Monday night, aiming to strengthen their position in seventh place.
Brentford comes into the match after a tough FA Cup exit via penalties, but their league performance remains strong. Head coach Keith Andrews has extended his contract with the club until 2032, and the team currently holds a four-point lead in the race for European qualification.
With a league-high shot conversion rate of 14.5%, Brentford has become one of the most effective teams in the Premier League. They are keen to achieve a league double over Wolves for the first time in ten years.
Wolves will arrive in London at the bottom of the league but are showing signs of improvement under Rob Edwards. They have won their last two Premier League matches against Liverpool and Aston Villa, providing a boost to their morale.
Despite being 12 points away from safety, a third consecutive win would make them the first team since Leicester City in 2015 to achieve this while starting at the bottom of the table. Edwards has placed greater focus on a solid defensive setup, creating a high-stakes atmosphere for the remaining games.
