Brentford have dropped a staggering 11 points from winning positions this term, which is more than any other team in the top-flight, and it's led to them taking just one from their last four games. They're in a worse run of form than Burnley, which is saying something.
The Clarets are 18th in the table, having lost six of their eight Premier League games this season, and nobody is in any doubt that they're facing a relegation dogfight. If there's one positive spin that can be put on this weekend's clash, it's that Vincent Kompany's men have been much more solid on the road than at home, where their fans' angst has been known to spill out onto the pitch.
Brentford's supporters have had two weeks to ruminate on the sickening stoppage-time one-two that robbed them of three points at Old Trafford before the international break, but knowing Thomas Frank, their best form of defence today could well be all-out attack.
