Bryan Mbeumo has provided an assist in each of his last three Premier League appearances for Brentford (four in total). The only player in Premier League history who has assisted in four consecutive Premier League appearances for a promoted side is Chris Waddle in March/April 1997 for Sunderland.

After picking up just four points in an 11-match run between December and February (W1 D1 L9), Brentford have won four of their last five Premier League matches (L1). They are now looking to win three in a row in the top flight for the first time since September 1946.

Roy Hodgson is aiming for his first home points as Watford manager after four defeats in a row. The last manager to lose his first five home matches in charge at a club was Chris Ramsey with Queens Park Rangers in 2015.

Brentford's Ivan Toney has been involved in 10 goals in his last eight Premier League appearances (eight goals, two assists). Only Spurs duo Harry Kane (15) and Son Heung-min (13) have been involved in more goals in 2022 so far.
