31′ Fulham are still trying to close down Brentford high up the field so Jansson goes long to play in Watkins. Hector is tight to the forward though and is able to intercept the pass before he can have a run at goal.
29′ Reed picks up the first booking of the game after sliding in late on Norgaard.
28′ Ream plays a long ball over the top, looking for Onomah who has made a run through the middle. He flicks it on, but can’t find Kebano and Raya clears his lines.
26′ The resulting corner comes to nothing for Brentford and the players make their way to the sidelines for the cooling break.
24′ Jensen wrongfoots Bryan on the right and floats a good cross into the box. Nobody is picking up Mbuemo at the far post, but Hector gets an important touch to flick it out of his reach and out for a corner.
23′ It’s another quick break from Fulham now, with Bryan leading it down the left. He’s in a lot of space, but he slips as he swings his cross into the box which gives Brentford the chance to win it back.
21′ Fulham have got a lot of players forward for a corner and there’s some pushing in the box so the referee has to have a word with everyone in the area. The corner is poor in the end and Brentford clear it at the near post.
19′ Brentford are trying to press Fulham high up the field but they’re struggling to get a touch on the ball. Fulham work it into the final third quickly and De Cordova-Reid’s long-range shot is blocked.
17′ GOOD SAVE! Cairney plays a throughball into Onomah on the right of the box and he just gets ahead of his defender to send his shot across goal. Raya gets a strong hand to it and then has to stick out a leg to stop Jansson’s clearance from crossing the line.
16′ Brentford are currently unbeaten in five matches against Fulham (W3 D2) and have only lost once in their last 10 meetings with them (W6 D3).
14′ Fulham are on the attack again now and Kebano is being given a lot of space down the right. He gets away from Dasilva, but his cross is then blocked at the near post by Henry.
12′ Norgaard goes down in the box after a challenge from Reed catches him on his shin. He’s straight back to his feet after a quick glance to the referee, but the contact was outside the area anyway.
10′ It’s a poor pass from Raya to Pinnock and Kebano intercepts it. In the end, Fulham overplay it as they try to find some space in the box and Onomah tries to touch it onto De Cordova-Reid but Jansson clears his lines.
8′ Another free-kick for Brentford now and this time, it’s Benrahma who takes it. He goes for goal but it hits the wall. Norgaard swings a cross into the box when it comes to him, but Raya comes off his line to collect it.
6′ Brentford are keeping the ball well at the moment and are patiently playing out from the back. Watkins does really well to keep it in play at the byline and touches it onto Benrahma, but his cross is blocked.
4′ Onomah gets the ball at the halfway line and makes a driving run through Brentford’s half. He has support up with him but decides to have a go from range as he drills his shot towards goal, but it’s a comfortable save for Raya.
2′ Brentford have a free-kick on the right which Norgaard swings into the box and Jansson gets a foot to it but can’t do anything with it. Fulham can’t clear their lines at first, but Ream eventually boots it away before Mbuemo can get near it.
1′ Kamara gets the game underway for Fulham!
