Brentford's survival instincts face a test on Friday with Watford visiting west London, as the Hornets aim to drag the Bees into a relegation dogfight.
Thomas Frank's men are 13th, four points clear of 17th-placed Watford. Victory would push them up to ninth ahead of the weekend's fixtures, but they'll need to do it without Ivan Toney who is absent following a Covid positive.
The Hornets have lost five of their last six, sending Ole Gunnar Solskjaer into unemployment by beating Man United 4-1 amid that run. Tonight will be a crucial indicator for Claudio Ranieri.
