The festive action in the Premier League continues on Friday, as Brentford travel to Brighton.
There will be pressure on the home side this week, as the Seagulls have failed to win in their last five. Most recently, they were held to a draw at the London Stadium by West Ham.
Brentford’s unbeaten home start to the season was ended in their latest fixture. The Bees were well-beaten by Nottingham Forest, meaning that they have now lost their last two in the Premier League.
