MATCH PREDICTION
Thomas Frank and Brentford have begun to go back to the added fluency that they had when they gained promotion to the Championship a couple of seasons ago. The Bees showed both sides to their game in their opening couple of matches when they defeated Crystal Palace on the opening day before a backs-to-the-wall system against Liverpool as they suffered a 2-0 loss at Anfield last weekend. Southampton appear perfectly set up for a team that Brentford can dismantle with their overplaying from the back and weakness at set-pieces so Brentford, especially with their home advantage, are firm favourites for this one.
