Fulham team news
Fulham have lost two creative outlets to knee injuries this summer. Harry Wilson is expected back sooner than Manor Solomon, but the 25-year-old could miss as many as 10 matches by Marco Silva's estimation.
Andreas Pereira was forced off against Wolves last weekend through injury. Bobby Decordova-Reid also picked up a knock though Silva was keen to downplay the severity of these ailments, insisting they weren't 'anything special'.
Joe Bryan's involvement is more uncertain as he nurses a metacarpal fracture.
Marek Rodak kept his first Premier League clean sheet of the season last weekend as he currently has the edge over summer arrival Bernd Leno in the battle for Fulham's number one spot.

Brentford team news
After a blast of four goals in the space of 25 first-half minutes, Brentford avoided any unnecessary injuries as they coasted through the rest of their jolly jaunt against Manchester United.
While Sergi Canos and Kristoffer Ajer are nearing returns from hamstring problems, Ethan Pinnock is set to remain sidelined with a knee injury for the foreseeable future.

Fulham vs Brentford score prediction
Fulham were able to bloody the nose of a Premier League big boy on the opening weekend but Brentford's Manchester United mauling was simply the continuation of excellent top-flight form; since the start of March, only three clubs have averaged more points than Thomas Frank's overachievers.
Brentford could extend that impressive streak at a venue which has proven to be a happy hunting ground in recent years; the Bees have lost just one of their past 19 trips to Craven Cottage across all competitions.
Prediction: Fulham 0-1 Brentford
