Brentford are seeking back-to-back victories over Brighton for the first time since 2003, although the Bees have never won in Sussex in the Premier League in four attempts.
Brighton vs Brentford preview
These two teams kick off level on points in the Premier League table, so will either climb up the standings with a victory in Sussex? Brighton & Hove Albion held fierce rivals Crystal Palace to a goalless draw at Selhurst before the international break, a game in which very little of note happened.
This though means Fabian Hürzeler's team have lost just one of their last seven, still yet to taste defeat at home this season, enjoying back-to-back victories in Sussex over Leeds and Newcastle. So, can the Seagulls continue their impressive home record at the Falmer Stadium on Saturday?
Brentford meantime have lost four of their five away games, most recently defeated at Crystal Palace, their sole points on the road to date coming in a dominant 2-0 victory over hapless West Ham last month. On their own turf however, Keith Andrews' side have won three of their last four, enjoying noteworthy victories over Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle, scoring three each time.
In the latter, a fortnight ago, the Bees battled back from a goal down to beat Newcastle 3-1 in West London, with Kevin Schade bundling home an equaliser after a long throw, before Igor Thiago's late double made the points secure. Last season, Brentford failed to win any of their first nine away games, a sequence broken by the South Coast against Southampton, so can the Bees defeat the Seagulls on Saturday, or will Brighton make home advantage count?

Brighton team news
Adam Webster, Jack Hinshelwood and Solly March remain sidelined, but there is hope that Brajan Gruda, James Milner and Kaoru Mitoma could be involved in this one.
'Elsewhere, Diego Gómez's recent double against Leeds could see him keep his place on the left-wing, while Mats Wieffer likely to be chosen over compatriot Joël Veltman at right-back. Lastly, Carlos Baleba would miss next weekend's trip to Nottingham Forest if cautioned.
Brighton & Hove Albion predicted lineup vs Brentford: (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Wieffer, Dunk, van Hecke, Kadıoğlu; Baleba, Ayari, Minteh, Georginio, Gómez; Welbeck.
Brighton player to watch vs Brentford
Danny Welbeck already has six Premier League goals to his name this season, on target during two of his last three encounters with Brentford, so will he continue this scoring spree?

There is little reason for Keith Andrews to tinker too much, albeit Kristoffer Ajer could come in for Aaron Hickey at left-back, with the Scotland international's minutes needing to be managed.
That aside, an unchanged XI is forecast, albeit Nathan Collins and Kevin Schade have to be careful, considering a caution would see them sit out next weekend's clash with Burnley.
Brentford predicted lineup vs Brighton & Hove Albion: (4-3-3): Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, van den Berg, Ajer; Henderson, Yarmolyuk, Damsgaard; Ouattara, Schade, Thiago.

Igor Thiago's brace against Newcastle takes his tally to nine goals for the season already, netting during away games at Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Sunderland and West Ham, so will he be on target on the road again?
Brighton vs Brentford prediction
This clash on Saturday should be entertaining and given Brighton's excellent home record as well as Brentford's poor results on the road, we're backing the Seagulls for victory: Brighton 2-1 Brentford.
