Form guide
Hull are ninth with nine points but have not won in five: 0-0 against Aston Villa, 2-2 at Chelsea, a 2-1 defeat at Newcastle, 2-2 against Everton and a 1-0 defeat at Fulham.
Brentford are sixth with 10 points. Their last five: 1-1 against Sunderland, 2-2 at Bournemouth, 3-0 against Chelsea, 2-2 at Aston Villa and a 2-1 home defeat by Liverpool. They have scored in eight Premier League games in a row and drawn their last four away from home.
Head-to-head
The last meetings were in the Championship. Brentford won 5-1 at Hull in February 2020, and they won 5-1 at home a year earlier.
Team news
Hull have a long injury list, including goalkeeper Butland. Brentford are without the suspended Janelt and Yarmolyuk, and four more players are doubts.
Our prediction and why
We take Brentford or draw (X2). Hull have not won in five, and Brentford keep drawing away from home, which double chance covers. Brentford have not won enough recently for us to back the away win.
