Brentford prepare to face the league leaders knowing their home form has generally been strong this season, although their most recent defeat happens to have taken place in their last match at the Gtech Community Stadium – and against an opponent battling relegation. Brentford's 2-0 loss at home to Nottingham Forest on 25 January is one of only two defeats on home soil in the Premier League this season and the Bees have since responded with impressive away victories at Aston Villa and Newcastle United. Brentford, though, can rely on the superlative home form of their star striker. Igor Thiago has scored nine goals in his last 10 Premier League home games, including four braces. Only Manchester City forward Erling Haaland has scored more Premier League goals than Thiago so far this season.
