Brentford will be looking to continue their impressive run of form when they welcome Brighton to the Gtech Community Stadium for Premier League action on Saturday afternoon.
The Bees are in the mix for a European finish and they head into this contest having progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup, where they will take on West Ham at the London Stadium.
As for Brighton, they were dumped out of that competition by Liverpool to ramp up the pressure on manager Fabian Hurzeler, who has seen his side win just one of their last 13 top-flight assignments.

Team news
Brentford pair Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo are both out for the season because of knee injuries, but Kevin Schade and Joshua Dasilva are closing in on returns and could be involved in the matchday squad.
The Bees are expected to recall a number of their first-team regulars after resting several players for the FA Cup win over Macclesfield, with the likes of Igor Thiago, Jordan Henderson and Caoimhin Kelleher all in line to start.
Brighton are without the services of Stefanos Tzimas and Adam Webster, who are both missing for the rest of the campaign with knee issues, while Solly March is still a week or so away from returning.
There is better news on Yasin Ayari, who should have recovered from a shoulder problem in time for this contest.
The stats
Brentford have the sixth-best home record in the league, collecting 25 points from 13 games.
The Bees are on a four-match unbeaten run in all competitions (W3 D1).
Keith Andrews' side are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Brighton at the Gtech Community Stadium (W2 D1).
The Seagulls lost 3-0 at Liverpool in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, extending their losing run to three games.
It is now six matches without a win for Brighton, who last triumphed in the league at the start of January when beating Burnley 2-0 at the Amex Stadium.
Hurzeler's side have the joint fourth-worst away record in the division, amassing just 10 points from 13 matches.

Prediction
A return of just nine points from the last 39 on offer has seen Brighton boss Hurzeler come under fire and things may get worse for him when he takes his side to in-form Brentford.
The Bees are unbeaten in their last four matches, recording notable wins at Newcastle and Aston Villa and also holding Premier League leaders Arsenal to a 1-1 draw, and they have been a force to be reckoned with at home.
Nottingham Forest and Manchester City are the only teams to have left the Gtech Community Stadium with all three points this season, while Sunderland, Burnley, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester United and Villa have all left empty handed.
With Brighton last winning on their travels in the league back in November, this looks like a tough ask for the south-coast outfit and it would be a big surprise to see them triumph in west London.
Along with a home win, add in Dango Ouattara to get on the scoresheet, something he has managed to do in two of his last three starts for Brentford.
The 24-year-old has managed at least one shot on target in three of his last five appearances and he can take advantage of a Brighton defence that has failed to keep a clean sheet away from home since November.
