STREAM LIVE BRENTFORD v BURNLEY
The Bees bagged a big win at Norwich City last time out to ease their relegation fears, as Christian Eriksen whipped in some brilliant deliveries and looked superb in his first start since his cardiac arrest last summer. Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo looked sharp and Brentford looked back to their best. Thomas Frank’s side have had a rough few months with injuries, luck and everything else in-between but they’re finally starting to regain their early-season form. With some very winnable games coming up, they will now hope to kick on and pull themselves up into midtable.
Burnley have regressed a little in recent weeks. Sean Dyche’s men lost just two of their eight games throughout January and February, but they have lost two-straight to kick off March and after they were hammered by Chelsea last time out the remain in the relegation zone. They are still within touching distance of Everton, Leeds and Brentford and that is what makes this game so pivotal in their season. Wout Weghorst and Maxwel Cornet hold the key to their survival hopes and if they can stay solid at the back, they will be battling for survival until the very end. Burnley do have games in-hand over Leeds and Brentford, but they have to win games like this against direct relegation rivals if they’re going to stay in the Premier League.
