Brentford v Sunderland kick off time & date
- Date: Wednesday 7 January
- Kick-off: 19:30 GMT
- Venue: Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford come into the game in excellent spirits after an impressive 4-2 away victory over Everton on Sunday. Head coach Keith Andrews has enjoyed an outstanding start to life in the Premier League dugout, with the Bees sitting just one point outside the top five after 20 matches.
The Bees return to the Gtech Community Stadium, where they have lost just one of their ten league games this season.
Brentford boast the fourth best home record in the division, having collected 21 points from a possible 30, and they have taken a remarkable 34 points from a possible 39 at home against promoted sides in the Premier League.
Although they were beaten 2-1 by Sunderland in the reverse fixture back in August, six of the last seven meetings between the sides have seen both teams score.
Sunderland have also exceeded expectations since returning to the top flight. The Black Cats sit eighth in the table and extended their unbeaten run to five matches on Sunday with a fourth consecutive draw, this time away at Tottenham Hotspur.
No side has drawn more Premier League games than Sunderland this season, with nine stalemates already on the board.
While Sunderland remain one of only two teams, alongside Arsenal, yet to lose a home league game, their away form has been less convincing.
They have won just two of their ten away matches so far, which may concern head coach Daniel Farke ahead of a tough trip to west London.
Having already beaten Brentford at the Stadium of Light earlier in the campaign, Sunderland will be aiming to complete their first league double over the Bees since the 1987–88 season.
Given Brentford’s formidable home form, the hosts look well placed to edge another entertaining encounter.
