Surging Brentford will look to extend their impressive four-game winning streak when they host a faltering Fulham side in a crucial Premier League clash with European qualification implications on Sunday.
The Bees enter this London derby in commanding form with six consecutive unbeaten matches, while the Cottagers have stumbled badly down the stretch, losing four of their last five league fixtures.
With Thomas Frank's squad displaying defensive solidity at home and Yoane Wissa scoring in four of his last five appearances, Brentford appears well-positioned to strengthen their European ambitions against their cross-town rivals.

Brentford vs. Fulham preview
Brentford's remarkable four-game winning streak has breathed new life into their European aspirations as they welcome struggling Fulham to what promises to be a lively West London derby this Sunday.
Thomas Frank's Bees are buzzing with confidence after grinding out a 1-0 victory against Ipswich Town last week, with their attacking trio of Bryan Mbeumo, Kevin Schade, and the prolific Yoane Wissa—who's found the net in four of his last five outings—striking fear into opposition defenses.
Meanwhile, Marco Silva's Cottagers have hit a concerning late-season slump, dropping four of their last five league matches including last weekend's disappointing 3-1 home defeat to Everton despite Raúl Jiménez's early opener.
Fulham's European hopes are fading fast with defensive frailties being ruthlessly exposed in recent weeks, while their injury list continues to mount with Rodrigo Muniz, Reiss Nelson, Harrison Reed, and Timothy Castagne all sidelined for this crucial fixture.
History doesn't favor the visitors either, with Fulham failing to secure victory in their last four league visits to Brentford, suggesting the Bees' impressive home form could prove decisive once again.
With European qualification potentially extending to eighth place this season, there's everything to play for as these West London rivals clash in what could effectively end one team's continental dreams.
