Hull have taken three points from their last five Premier League games
Brentford have drawn all three of their top-flight away games this season
The Bees were 5-1 winners on their last visit to the MKM Stadium in February 2020
Hull and Brentford will meet for the first time in the top flight at the MKM Stadium on Sunday with both sides keen to bounce back from disappointing results last time out and get their positive starts to the season back on track.
The Tigers made a flying start to life back in the Premier League, winning their opening two games, but three points from their five games since has threatened to derail their good work.
Brentford were unbeaten prior to last weekend's home loss to Liverpool, although they were leading in that game before having Yehor Yarmoliuk sent off and eventually ending the game with nine men.

Team News
Hull's treatment room is a busy place although Mohamed-Ali Cho, Lucas Gourna-Douath and Jack Butland may be able to return on Sunday.
Nobel Mendy is also stepping up his recovery but Matt Targett, Eliot Matazo, Ilyas Ansah, Darko Gyabi and Charlie Hughes remain longer term absentees.
Brentford head coach Keith Andrews has confirmed he has no fresh injury concerns, although he will have to make do without suspended duo Yarmoliuk and Vitaly Janelt, who were both sent off against Liverpool.
Captain Nathan Collins and Mathias Jensen are edging towards returns, but this game will come too soon for both.
Need to know
Hull were written off as relegation fodder before a ball was kicked this season, but they went some way to defying those expectations by winning their opening two games.
No victories since may well have set the alarm bells ringing at the MKM Stadium and the visit of an impressive Brentford is unlikely to stop the rot.
The Bees look like genuine European contenders this season and they are unbeaten in their five away matches in league and cup.
Brentford are also scoring goals at a regular rate, netting in all nine of their matches this season.
Prediction
The wheels have started to come off for Hull following their flying start and it is hard to see them curtailing an impressive Brentford, provided the Bees can keep a full quota of 11 players on the pitch.
Cards have been a theme for both these sides this season. Hull have picked up a league-high 22 in seven matches, while Brentford are not far behind on 20.
Four cards could easily be issued by referee Rob Jones and Hull's tenacious forward Oliver McBurnie may be the recipient of one of those.
McBurnie has been booked in three of his last four Premier League games and no Hull player has given away more fouls than his total of 11.
