Team News

Brentford
Fulham
  • Thomas Frank could name an unchanged starting XI for Brentford's trip to Wembley after hammering Swansea 3-1 in the second leg of their playoff semi final.
  • Josh Dasilva would have hoped to start in the midfield following an impressive season, but is unlikely to replace either of Emi Marcondes or Mathias Jensen after they impressed at Griffin Park.
  • The Bees nearly have a clean bill of health for the final with striker Nikos Karelis their only confirmed absentee.
  • Aleksandar Mitrovic missed both legs of the semi-final with a hamstring injury and Scott Parker will be sweating over his fitness ahead of the final.
  • Parker could also be without influential winger Neeskens Kebano, who was withdrawn at half-time of the second leg against Cardiff on Thursday afternoon with a hamstring injury.
  • Ivan Cavaleiro didn't appear in either leg of the semi final, but is arguably more likely to replace Kebano than Aboubakar Kamara, who has starred in an impact sub role during the latter stages of the season.

Prediction

  • Brentford's momentum had seemingly ground to a halt before their final game at Griffin Park with the Bees on a three-match losing streak, but it took Thomas Frank's men just 46 minutes to turn a 1-0 aggregate deficit into a 3-1 lead. Brentford have never played in the Premier League, but will be favourites when they step out under the arch on Tuesday.
  • Fulham appeared to be buckling under the pressure when Curtis Nelson halved Cardiff's 2-0 deficit just eight minutes into Thursday's second leg clash, but Scott Parker's men kept their heads and struck back within 30 seconds to level the score. The Cottagers could be without two of their biggest attacking threats at Wembley in Aleksandar Mitrovic and Neeskens Kebano, but Scott Parker will be confident that his men can replicate Fulham's 2018 Wembley heroics.
  • Brentford have an impressive head-to-head record against Fulham, heading to Wembley unbeaten in five competitive fixtures against their London rivals. Fulham impressed in the first leg against Cardiff, but Brentford have the star power and should depart the Championship in style on Tuesday night.

  • The 2 clubs are only 4 miles apart.Be a great game at Wembley.

  • I hope it is a fairy tale ending with Brentford winning promotion to the EPL.

  • Mitrovic declared fit to start

  • I hope Brentford win with the goal of saïd Benrahma the best player of the championship

  • @Moni surely he will as there is no other player that does better than him in the championship

  • Brentford have been the best team all year long. Expect them to say goodbye to the Championship in style...

  • @tsili_13 If Brentford were the best team they'd have finished first. However, Benrahma will be playing in the Premier League next year.

  • @tsili_13 They gave up the opportunity of the EPL themselves.

  • @tsili_13 I hope you are right. Feels like Fulham has the edge though.
