Brentford (6-8-5) had a much easier job in the FA Cup last weekend, when they beat Port Vale by an easy 4-1 on the road. Mbuemo was the man of the match, who got subbed in at the 60th minute and scored a hattrick within 21 minutes. In their last EPL match, Brentford beat Aston Villa by 2-1 at home, overturning Aston Villa’s early lead. Brentford have struggled defensively as of late, keeping no clean sheets in their last 8 matches in all competitions. They are sitting at the 12th spot of the league table with 23 points, scoring 23 and conceding 26 goals so far.
