Brentford vs Bournemouth live stream: How to watch Premier League game online and on TV, teams news

The Brentford vs Bournemouth live stream is one of six matches taking place in the English Premier League on Saturday. Both teams are seeking to finally get off the mark — and you can watch Brentford vs Bournemouth live from anywhere with a VPN.   

Ben Mee is fit to start in defence for Brentford, who again opt for a 4-3-3 formation.

Marcos Senesi comes in at the back for Bournemouth, with Lewis Cook selected in midfield.

Brentford will be looking to make it four games unbeaten at the start of the EPL season when they host Bournemouth.

Back in May, Brentford learned their star player would miss a large chunk of this season. Ivan Toney was handed an eight-month ban for breaching betting regulations, leaving him sidelined until mid-January. That was a huge blow for the Bees.

Yet so far at least, they are getting on just fine without him. Brentford have won one and drawn two of their opening three games in 23/24. They are one of only six teams yet to lose a game this season.

That is testament chiefly to the coaching ability of Thomas Frank, who ensures that Brentford continue to punch above their weight. In Toney's absence, Brentford have been sharing the goals around their other attackers.

Bournemouth have had a tougher start. Andoni Iraola, appointed to replace Gary O'Neil in the summer, has overseen two defeats and a draw up to now, although the Cherries have already faced two of the 'big six' in Tottenham and Liverpool.

Unfortunately for Bournemouth, their recent record in this fixture is not good: the Cherries have not won any of the last five league meetings, while they were beaten by Brentford in the Championship play-offs in 2021.
