Brentford is preparing to face Wolves, who have recently defeated Aston Villa and Liverpool.
A win for Brentford could take them within one point of sixth-placed Chelsea.
Thiago’s Brazil Call-Up
Igor Thiago has received his first call-up for Brazil.
The striker has scored 18 goals in the Premier League already, earning him a deserved spot in the squad selected by Carlo Ancelotti.
The Managers
